Shiva Linga

Lord Shiva, known as Maha Dev in Benares, is one the three major gods of the Hindu pantheon. Together with Brahmâ and Vishnu they form the trimurti or trinity. Shiva destroys and re-creates, as these two life processes are inseparable and complementary. His most common representation is the lingam or phallic symbol, often carved in stone. There are litterally thousands of lingas in Varanasi, the city of Shiva on the banks of the holy Ganges.
