The lingum-
As per Hindu epic; Lord Shiva is the lord of good over evil. His other name is called as Rudra. In Rig Veda, it is said here in this cave, the Himalayas, Lord Shiva shared the secret of his immortality to his wife Goddess Parvati. The place is believed to be holy since that time period, and has been the place of worshiping Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is prayed in a form of lingum, which surprisingly in Amarnath gets naturally formed of ice stalagmite for a certain time period, and vanishes, once the time period gets over. Millions of devotees throng over here, to witness as self spectator of Lord Shiva lingum along with other two lingums, as mata Parvati and his son Ganesh; and get blessings.
