Om Namah Shivaya
Badavilinga is the largest monolithic Shivalinga in Hampi which was commissioned by a poverty-stricken peasant woman and hence the name.
Why is the theory behind the shape of Shiva Linga?
One of the interpretations observes that the shape of the lingam suggests the shape of an egg.
Shiva lingam is depicted in this way to signify Shiva as the root cause of the entire creation.
It is said that the base symbolizes Lord Brahma, the pedestal symbolizes Lord Vishnu and the pillar symbolizes Lord Shiva.
