The ancient Valley of Sivalingams
Bujang Valley,Kedah
Bujang Valley,Kedah
Since most of the lingams discovered were not intact we would first have to learn about the parts that make up a Sivalingam. The Sivalingam consists of 3 parts and each part discovered in the Bujang Valley, although separate is still an essential component of the Sivalingam. The lowest part is called the 'Brahma-Pitha,' the middle one, the 'Vishnu-Pitha' and the uppermost one, the 'Shiva-Pitha.' Below are a few pictures of the Shiva-Pithas and Vishnu-Pitas which were discovered.
