Lord Shiva is a multi-faceted deity in the Hindu Trinity. Fierce and compassionate by nature, Lord Shiva symbolises the duality of life. Worship of Shiva is at the core of Shaivism. The Shivling and the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas are revered by devotees so much so that they have been considered as their pilgrimage sites since time immemorial. These iconic pillars have become a part of personal stories and scholarly research. The authors of this book, Amit Kapur, Bibek Debroy, Vibhav Kapur and Conor Martin, delve into the stories associated with these Jyotirlingas, as well as their essence and their literal and metaphorical journeys over time.
