Linga

Linga, often called Shiva Linga, is a symbolic representation of the Hindu god Shiva. It typically appears as a smooth, rounded stone or an abstract structure that embodies divine energy and the creative force of Shiva. The Linga is used in temples for worship and rituals, symbolizing the union of the divine consciousness and the physical universe. It is not just a stone but a spiritual emblem representing the essence of Shiva’s power, energy, and presence. The worship of the Linga is a central part of Shaivism, honoring Shiva as the supreme being in various forms.
