Shiva. Mahadev. The Evils Destroyer. Called by different names but ultimately the Supreme. Shiva’s Jyotirlinga is highly revered among the Hindus. Jyotirlingas are the shrines where Bhagwan Shiva is worshipped in the form of a Jyotirlingam. Jyotirlingam is the radiant sign (phallus symbol) of The Almighty. The word ‘Jyoti’ means light and ‘linga’ means sign. Jyotirlinga is the light of Bhagwan Shiva.
