Eklingji, Rajasthan 313202 Phone: Not AvailableAbout
Eklingji is a manifestation of the Hindu god, Lord SHIVA. 'Ek' means 'one', 'ling' refers to lingam (penis), the life-giving phallic symbol of Shiva, and 'ji' is a widespread suffix of respect in India. Eklingji has been the deity of Mewar's rulers since the reign of BAPA RAWAL (734-753). Though crowned and invested with the insignia of royalty, they have acted as DIWAN (Prime Minister or, more appropriately, Trustee) for the god of his State of Mewar.
