The shape of lingam is of very special significance its in conical shaped lingam, This is unique in the world. The #Sattology derives the meaning of the shape & the name. The city name #Kumbakonam itself derived from the name of Mahadev - Kumba @Itishree001 @almightykarthik
& the slight angle of the Linga, hence the name "#Kumbakonam".
