I've went to many Lord Shiva temples and seen the lingam in different directions.

In some temples, the direction is like this:

And in some temples, the direction is like this:

Why is there a difference and can someone tell me the reason behind it? Any significance?

In that case, how should the Lord Shiva Lingam be kept in the home? Like which direction?

  • Yoni or Lingapeetha (base) should face North.

  • In few temples, the Yoni doesn't face North. So, I wanted to clarify what do you mean by Yoni

  • The Protruding portion. It has to face North as per scriptures. In second pic, yoni faces right side which is North.

  • Ok, so there are no lingams where the Yoni will face any other position other than North?
