According to folklore Shiva Linga is a revered symbol of Lord Shiva, the ultimate god of annihilation and transformation. It is a phallic-shaped structure that is frequently seen in temples and revered by followers.
The Linga is thought to represent Lord Shiva’s heavenly might and creative force. It stands for Shiva’s eternal and limitless consciousness, which is the unmanifest, formless essence of Shiva.
Worshippers offer prayers, flowers, and water as a gesture of devotion to the Shiva Linga, seeking purification and spiritual enlightenment. The Linga represents the cosmic equilibrium and the never-ending cycle of creation and disintegration and symbolises the union of the masculine and feminine forces.
The hue black symbolises the transcendence of form and ego and the cosmic darkness from whence creation originates. It is said that contemplating or worshipping this Linga results in benefits, spiritual development, and a closer relationship with Lord Shiva's benevolent presence.
