Interesting link!

Under "Laws of War", the picture of the Mahabharata War, an artist impression where the blue coloured Shiva(?) is holding up a horizontal wheel, a Savatobharata(?) perhaps?

No. It is Srikrishna, who after seeing a ferocious Bhisma kill large parts of Pandava army, picks up the wheel of the chariot to kill Bhisma. Srikrishna had vowed not to bear arms in this war and only be a charioteer for Arjuna. Arjuna is seen pleading with Srikrishna not to break his vow of not bearing arms.
