A Narrative of the Birth of Lord Shiva's Lingam Form
Shiva rejected samsara (the cycle of birth and rebirth), covered his body with ash, closed his eyes, and meditated because he didn't see any purpose in the fleeting pleasures of life. Shiva's body changed into a flaming lingam that threatened to wipe out the entire planet due to the heat produced by his tapas. Shiva's fire was uncontrollable by the gods. The mother goddess's heavenly vessel, the yoni, suddenly appeared. It prevented the universe from being destroyed earlier than necessary by capturing the flaming lingam and containing its heat.
Shiva and his consort Parvati are frequently depicted in a serene state, as well as the union of Shiva and Parvati in one body (Ardhanarisvara). Shiva and Parvati are shown on the sculpture's right and left sides, respectively. Each's characteristics are divided exactly in half. Shiva's earrings provide another indication of his seeming combination of masculine and feminine qualities. He frequently dons a male-style earring and a female-style earring.
