Shiva Lingams only come from one place in the world, the Narmada River in India.
I guarantee that this one comes from there, which cannot be otherwise.
The Narmada River is one of the seven sacred rivers of India, considered a source of purification and blessing.
They are harvested once a year by the villagers, during the dry season, then they are shaped and polished by hand to reveal their cylindrical egg shape.
The bigger they are, the rarer they are.
This one is starting to have a nice size.
In general, because of their rarity, Shiva Lingam Banalinga are sold around 100-150€ per kilo...
This one weighs almost 3 kilos; In India, wax is used to preserve the stones. It can be easily removed with newspaper for example...
The "lingam" or "Shiva-lingam" is one of the most emblematic spiritual representations of India and one of the most symbolic too.
Some theories trace the lingam back to ancient fertility cults probably due to its phallic shape.
The lingam, one of the most venerated forms of Shiva in India, gives rise to a lot of misunderstandings.
Many restrict its interpretation to that of a phallus more or less linked to tantric practices in relation to sexuality alone.
This vision is very reductive and results from a misunderstanding of the profound meaning of this symbol from which one can, on the contrary, draw a great spiritual teaching.
