The Shiva Linga, representing the formless aspect of Lord Shiva, finds its essence in the Sanskrit word "linga," meaning a sign or symbol. Carved from the enduring and resilient granite, it signifies the indestructible and everlasting nature of the divine consciousness, beyond the limits of time and space. The smooth and cylindrical form of the Shiva Linga represents the divine pillar of creation and sustenance, while its rounded top, known as the "purna ghata" or "purna kalasha," symbolises the infinite and boundless aspect of the cosmos. It is a potent reminder that the divine presence encompasses all aspects of creation, from the smallest atom to the vast galaxies.
