Legend of Shiva Linga
According to this legend, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnuwere in a search to find out the Aadi (beginning) and the Antha (end) of Lord Shiva. It is believed that on the 14th day in the dark fortnight of the month of Phalguna, Shiva manifested himself in the form of a Linga. This day is considered auspicious and is celebrated as Maha Shivratri. Devotees celebrate this occasion by observing fast during the day and worshiping the Lord throughout the night.
