Answer in Details
In traditional Shiva temples, the Shiva Lingam (also called Shivalinga or Lingam) is placed between Nandi (the sacred bull and vehicle of Lord Shiva) and the image or representation of Shiva (when present). The typical arrangement is as follows:- Nandi is placed facing the sanctum (garbhagriha) of the temple.
- Shiva Lingam is enshrined inside the sanctum as the primary object of worship, representing the formless aspect of Lord Shiva.
- Devotees and Nandi both face the Shiva Lingam during worship.
This placement symbolizes the devotion and constant gaze of Nandi towards Shiva, and the Lingam is the central murti (icon) in all Shiva temples.
