Śiva Purāṇa Vidyeśvara-saṁhitā 11—Śivaliṅga Worship
Channel: Consciousness Research Centre
Date: 2022-09-23

The sages asked, “How is the phallic form of Śiva to be installed? What are the characteristic features of the form? How is He to be worshipped? What is the appropriate time and place for worship? What sort of person must the performer be?”
Sūta said, “I shall tell you everything for your sake, please listen attentively. The time must be convenient and auspicious. The place must be a holy centre. It can be on the bank of a river or anywhere facilitating daily worship. It can be of pārthiva (earth), āpya (watery) or taijasā (fiery) type. If it has all the characteristics mentioned in the sacred texts, the devotee derives the fruit of worship. If it has all characteristics, it accords the fruit of worship instantaneously. A small one is recommended if it be mobile and a larger one if it is stationary.
