Jyotirlinga
A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirling or Jyotirlingam is a shrine where
Lord Shiva, an aspect of
God in
Hinduism is worshipped in the form of a Jyotirlingam or "
Lingam of light." There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in
India.It is believed that Shiva first manifested himself as a Jyotirlinga on the night of the Aridra Nakshatra, thus the special reverence for the Jyotirlinga. There is nothing to distinguish the appearance, but it is believed that a person can see these lingas as columns of fire piercing through the earth after he reaches a higher level of spiritual attainment.
