Lingam Under Worship

Balinese Shrine, Upper Terrace, Candi Ceto
Surakarta (Solo)
Java, Indonesia

Here is another ancient sculpture, representing Shiva's linga with implanted "sex aids," that has been brought into worship on Java by Hindu activists from Bali. The form of worship practiced here is typically Hindu, and includes food and rice offerings (green leaves); incense and floral stems (brass pot); and liquid matter, poured out at the corners of the linga platform.
