Good research about Shiva and iconography. Your particular thesis - your personal analysis - should be the core of the essay rather than a historical overview, and the research content would revolve around your thesis statement. For example, your descriptions include descriptions of iconography showing his power, so that could be a direction for your thesis statement. Shiva is a Hindu deity, so it is unlikely that this would be "Shiva Buddha" (since Buddha is part of Buddhism). To avoid generalizations such as the third eye and red mark (page 2 middle) , it would be stronger to explain what that third eye meant.
