Aniket

अनिकेत

Lord of all, one who has no home

Derived from Sanskrit roots 'a' (without) and 'niketa' (house/abode), Aniket refers to one who is homeless or transcendent, as the ultimate being dwells within everything and is not bound to a specific place. It is one of the thousand names of Lord Shiva, symbolizing his ascetic and omnipresent nature.
