Summary

Description

.. tiny shiva lingums offered with a grain of rice.

this 'sapta-lingum' tradition was started by the queen ahilyabai, in hope of giving work to respected brahmins 'n food (rice) to river fishes. 'sapta-lingum' tradition means making 1,00,000 shiva-lingums everyday & then submerging in the narmada river. this tradition is continued even today, but making only 15,000 shiva-lingums, everyday.
