Originally there were believed to be 64 jyotirlingas, while twelve of them are considered to be very auspicious and holy. Each of the twelve jyotirlinga sites takes the name of the presiding deity, each considered a different manifestation of Lord Shiva. At all these sites, the primary image is Lingam representing the beginningless and endless Stambha pillar, symbolising the infinite nature of Shiva.
