Lingas

Linga, also known as lingam, is a symbolic representation of the Hindu god Shiva, often depicted as a cylindrical or oval-shaped stone or sculpture. It represents divine energy, creation, and the universe's cosmic power. The linga is typically placed in temples and worshiped as an emblem of Shiva's presence and power. It holds spiritual significance, embodying the formless aspect of Shiva and serving as a focal point for devotion and rituals. In many traditions, the linga symbolizes the unity of the divine and the regenerative cycle of life.
