Lingams are egg-shaped stones made of
cryptocrystalline quartz. They are found in one of
the seven holy sites of India - the Narmada River
in Onkar Mandhata. Villagers gather the stones
from the river and hand polish them.
The egg shape is considered a phallic symbol of
the Hindu god Shiva. The shiva lingam represents
both male and female, as well as the cosmic egg
from which all creation emerged. This stone
resonates with energies of all the elements -
Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Stone.
