Shaligram
Shila, (शिला in Devanagari, ' in IAST) or Shaligram refers to a fossilized shells used in South Asia as an aniconic symbol and reminder of god Vishnu as the Universal Principle by some Hindus.〔 Shaligram is usually collected from river beds or banks. It is considered easy to carry and popular in certain traditions of Vaishnavism, as an aniconic representation of the divine. It is typically in the form of a spherical, usually black-coloured Ammonoid fossil.
Shiva worshipers use nearly round or oval shaped Shaligrams to worship as Shiva Linga. They are sometimes referred to as ''Shilas'', with Shila being the shortened version.
==Use==
Although Hinduism has many anthropomorphic murtis (images) of gods, aniconism is equally represented with such abstract symbols of God such as the Saligrama. 〔Jeanne Fowler, pp. 42–43, at (Hinduism: Beliefs and Practices ), by M. K. V. Narayan at pp. 84–85 at (Flipside of Hindu Symbolism )〕
These Shaligram/Shalagrams can be collected only from Gandaki river in Nepal.
