Pataleshwar Mandir
The Pataleshwar Mandir is a Hindu Temple in the city of Hajipur, Bihar, India. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is located at Jadhua Road, Hajipur. As per local folklore, it is said to have been in existence since ancient period and Lord Shiva is believed to be in the form of Lingam here. Apart from anthropomorphic images of Shiva, the worship of Shiva in the form of a lingam, or linga, is also important. The worship of the Shiva-Linga originated from the famous hymn in the Atharva-Veda Samhitâ sung in praise of the Yupa-Stambha, the sacrificial post.
==Etymology==
The lingam (also, ''linga'', ''ling'', ''Shiva linga'', ''Shiv ling'', Sanskrit लिङ्गं, , meaning "mark", "sign", "gender", "phallus", "inference" or "eternal procreative germ"〔(Spoken Sanskrit Dictionary )〕〔(A Practical Sanskrit Dictionary )〕) is a representation of the Hindu deity Shiva used for worship in temples.〔Hinduism: Beliefs and Practices, by Jeanne Fowler, pgs. 42–43, at (Books.Google.com )〕 Whether the lingam symbolizes the physical body of the god or something purely spiritual is the topic of many a century-old debate within Hinduism.
