Cylindrical and upright, this top portion symbolizes Lord Shiva as the infinite cosmic pillar (Stambha).In Sphatik, the Lingam is finely polished to create a glowing, translucent effect, often catching light and casting prismatic reflections.
Should be placed in the northeast corner of the home or puja room.Always kept on a yoni base (jaladhari) and never directly on the floor.
The horizontal base structure upon which the Lingam stands is called the Yoni, symbolizing Goddess Shakti, the dynamic feminine energy.It includes a spout (Jalahari) for abhishekam (ritual bathing) water to flow out — symbolizing the release of negativity and ego.
Balances energies: Sphatik is known to align the chakras and calm the mind.Purifies space: Removes negative vibrations and infuses the environment with peace and clarity.
Daily worship (Abhishekam with milk, water, honey, ghee, etc.) is said to bestow liberation (moksha), health, prosperity, and spiritual awakening.
