3) Rudra Bhaaga (Laya): Puja Bhaaga of the Linga. Also represents the "Lingam" (Shiva)

4) Paanavattam (Naala): for the Water Course after abhishekam

5) Tripundra: The Shaivite Tilaka
6) Brahma Sutras: Vertical Lines on Rudra Bhaaga.

7) Sirovarttana: The Top of the Linga.

8) The Puja Bhaaga (Lingam) should always be made of "Pumshila" (Male Stone) and Pindika (Pitha/Yoni) should always be made of Strishila (Female Stone)
9) Shiva Lingas with Brahma Sutras & Sirovarttana are called "Manusha Lingas" without these, Lingas are not eligible for worship as per Agama Sastra.
