Pashupati nath at Mandsor- The eight facet Shiva

25 ft Shivlinga at Arunachal Pradesh

                              Lets all pay our respects to this huge Shivling which about 25ft tall and is still growing bigger. It has been discovered not quite long ago by the people of Arunachal Pradesh in a town called Zero or Ziro also known as Apatani Plateau which is located at an altitude of 5754 ft. (1,780m) above sea level in Arunachal Pradesh of North East India.It seems that there is still a confusion as to whether this massive Shivling is to be termed as a Shivlingam or an Image of Lord Shiva because there are also 2 more stones next to it, which are believed to be Devi Parvati and Lord Ganesha

LORD SHIVA
