Karpur Linga is instantaneously prepared using Camphor by a
devotee to worship Shiva. It is prepared when devotee does not have access to a
stone lingam for worship. It must be noted that in some regions deep pure white
colored lingas are also known as Karpur Lingas.
A devotee uses camphor to give shape to the linga for
worship. The devotee then offers prayers to this form that he/she has created.
After prayers the camphor is removed and used for puja
purposes.
Such freedom of worship helps a devotee in performing
prayers in any region and in any situation.
Apart from camphor, mud, clay and flowers are also used to
prepare instant Lingas for Shiva worship.
