White Marble Shivling

Department of Archaeology and Museums, Haryana

The Shiva Linga or Shiva Lingam is an elliptical structure typically placed in the center of a disk like base known as a yoni that symbolizes Shakti, the consort of Shiva. Together the linga and the yoni symbolize the cosmic union of the male and female aspects and represent the totality of existence. The complete structure of a Shiva Linga is divided into three distinct parts that represent the three main Gods of the Hindu trinity; Brahma, the Creator at the bottom, Vishnu, the Preserver in the middle, and Shiva, at the very top.
