Tirtha: Liṅga-samūha near the principal liṅga (name not specified here)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A principal liṅga shrine with many smaller liṅgas arranged around it; pilgrims move in a clockwise circuit, some offering bilva leaves, some touching the stone with reverence; a subtle radiance suggests ‘kaivalya-dāna’.
In Kāśī, even simple devotional contact—seeing or touching Śiva’s symbols—is celebrated as liberation-giving.
The cluster of liṅgas adjoining the principal liṅga in the Triviṣṭapa area of Kāśī.
Perform liṅga-darśana and, where appropriate, liṅga-sparśa as acts of devotion.
