Yoni Base - brass

Description

The yoni serves as a collecting corn and as a drain channel for liquids (water, coconut milk, melting butter/ghee), which is poured out as a venerated offer over the lingam during a ceremony. In older temples, for example, the drain channel is extended outwards by a hole in the temple wall. Together with the lingam - often interpreted as a stylized phallus - the yoni in Hinduism, especially in Shivaism, is a symbol of the divine creative energy. The fusion of Shiva and its Shakti, the female energy, finds their immediate mystical and artistic expression in the representation of Lingam and Yoni.
After the Shivalingam has been bathed, it is honored with the administration of flowers and the inflammation of an oil lamp (Aarti).
