Shiva Lingam
The Shiva Lingam is a symbolic representation of the Hindu god Shiva, often found in temples and homes. It typically consists of a cylindrical stone that stands upright, representing the cosmic pillar of energy. The lingam is often associated with the concept of creation and the divine energy that permeates the universe.
In Hindu worship, the Shiva Lingam is venerated as a manifestation of Shiva's power and presence. Devotees offer water, milk, and flowers to the lingam as a form of respect and devotion. This practice emphasizes the importance of Shiva in Hindu spirituality and the belief in the interconnectedness of all life.
