Tarkasur has an #Atmalinga that needs to be broken into 5 pieces & fixed where they fall by Pooja & building a Temple.
So each piece was worshipped by a Devta & has a unique feature! All shivlinga have scales due to being hit by His Aagneyaastra used to break the Shiva Lingam

worn by Taraka.
Lingam broke into 5 pieces & was trying to unite by making Omkara nada
Surya Deva by the order of #Vishnu, fixed the pieces & worshipped them by building temples over them.
The pieces stopped their movement & became famous as Panchaarama Kshetras. 3/5

The #iconography indicates this #stone image to be the Snake God - #NaagDevta - but the presence of #Sun & #Moon is intriguing as that’s not how the Snake God is usually represented. Is this some other #God or any other form of the Snake God?@jhowesuk @LaliMAndrade @BL_VisualArts
