About the Item

These granite river stones are depictions of the Lingam, symbolizing the Hindu god Shiva in Shaivism. They are considered to be emblems of generative and destructive power. While rooted in representations of the male sexual organ, the Lingam is regarded as the divine eternal process of creation and regeneration. When combined with the Yoni, it creates the union of the feminine and the masculine that recreates all of existence. The stone base was repurposed from a architectural column.
