Yoni base in pure silver for Shivling

Yoni base in pure silver for installing a Shivlingam with a five-headed Snake and Trishul.

The yoni is the creative power of nature and represents the goddess Shakti.The shivlingam represents Shiva, and is usually placed in the yoni.The lingam is the transcendental source of all that exists.The shivlinga united with the yoni represents the nonduality of immanent reality and transcendental potentiality.

In Shaktism, the yoni is celebrated and worshipped during the Ambubachi Mela, an annual fertility festival held in June, in Assam, India, which celebrates the Earth's menstruation. During Ambubachi, the annual menstruation course of the goddess Kamakhya is worshipped in the Kamakhya Temple.The temple stays closed for three days and then reopens to receive pilgrims and worshippers.It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year, particularly for Ambubachi Mela which draws upwards of 100,000 pilgrims per day during the 4-day festival.Darshan at this temple is performed not by sight as in most temples, but by touch.There is a large cleft, a yoni in the bedrock moistened by water flowing upward from an underground spring, generally covered by cloths and ornate chunris, flowers, and red sindoor powder. Devotees and pilgrims offer items for worship directly to the goddess, then touch her and drink water from the spring.They then receive a tilak and prasad by the attending priest.After completing darshan, devotees light lamps and incense outside the temple. Like other temples, worship is not considered complete until the temple is circumambulated clockwise.
