This one of a kind Shiva Lingam is hand carved by the artists of Bali. The sculpture pictured is the only sculpture Lotus Sculpture has like this in our store. When you order this piece you will receive this exact sculpture. It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this!
A beautiful Shiva Lingam perfect for performing abhisheka. Abhisheka, also called abhishekam, is performed by pouring libations on the image of the deity being worshiped during puja. The large Lingam has a beautiful yoni that captures any liquid poured onto the stone and funnels it towards the tip of the yoni where there is a spout to catch the liquid. There are beautiful designs carved into the yoni including a stunning carving beneath the yoni of an animal.
The Lingam is carved in two pieces, the actual Lingam and the Yoni. The Shiva Lingam can be pulled out of the Yoni. The lingam consists of three separate stages, top, middle and bottom each represents one of the gods of the Trimurthi. The upper most portion of the Lingam is round. This represents Shiva. The middle portion is a octagonal and carved with beautiful designs and represents Vishnu. The bottom portion is square and represents Brahma. Each section comprises 1/3 of the total height.
The Story of the Shiva Lingam: Shiva saw not sense in the transitory pleasures of life, so he rejected samsara, smeared his body with ash, closed his eyes and performed austerities. Shiva's tapas generated so much heat that his body transformed into a pillar of fire - a blazing Lingam that threatened to destroy the whole world. The gods did not know how to control Shiva's fire. Suddenly there appeared a Yoni - the divine vessel of the mother-goddess. It caught the fiery Lingam and contained its heat, thus saving the cosmos from untimely destruction.

Lava stone statues from Bali do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup.
Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Lava stone's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!

For placing the statue our customers have either placed the statue themselves with help of a friend and a tool like a hand truck or a dolly. Or by contacting their landscaper who is used to moving large and heavy objects like rocks and trees into place. For much larger and heavier sculptures sometimes the customer needs a piece of heavy equipment for placing the statue like a crane or forklift.
