ND A all u on I , beyond other co ntries the face of the earth , is — I pre - eminently the home of the worship of the Phallus the Linga puja it has been so for ages and remains so still . This o n e of adoration is said to be be the chief, if not the leading dogma u of the Hind religion , and there is scarcely a temple through ou t the land which has not its Lingam , in many instances this symbol being the only form under which the deity of the sanctuary is worshipped . a Gener lly speaking, the Linga may be described as a smooth , k ou t round , blac stone , apparently rising of another stone , formed on e like an elongated saucer, though in reality sculptured from of - block of basalt . The outline this saucer like stone, similar in ’ c w or form to what is alled a j e s harp, is called Argha Yoni the h of t e . upright stone , the type the virile organ , is Linga The a Lin ion i o f whole thing be rs the name of g .

A ries , and o n as mulets o ha ms upon the b e st o a m t t c c other imes they are several in hes in height, as in the domesti a N c t ex mples , and often have the bull andi arved ei her at the end of the yoni or at the side of the emblem . The Hindus say that the bull will intercep t the evil which is continually emitted from i v in t sact . th e female Upon the erection of a new illage, set ing of up the Linga, they are careful to turn the spout the yoni to or wa rds the jungle, and not upon the houses roads , lest ill fortune should rest upon them . These Lingams are of a much or larger size than those just mentioned, being generally two three feet in height . Early in the morning around these emblems may be seen the girls of the neighbourhood who are anxious for husbands , sprinkling them with water from the Ganges 5 decking them with a b ilwa n g rlands of flowers 3 performing the mudra, or gesticulatio with the fingers , and while rubbing themselves against the emblem , reciting the prescribed incantations , and entreating the deity to o f make them the fruitful mother children .
