Shivlingi Seeds are so named because the seeds resemble
Shiva Lingam. Jagjit Singh Chhabra, based in Indore , created a 3-feet murti of Ganesha
using Shivling seeds. The murti is unique and the effort put behind it is
monstrous because the dimension of the Shivlingi seed is 5.5 mm in length, 3.5
mm in width and 3.5mm in height. He used 2,100,000 (21 lakh) seeds to create
the 3-feet Ganesh murti.
Shivlingi is a medical plant found in India . Botanical
name is Bryonia laciniosa Linn. In English, it is known as Diplocyclos
palmatus, Lollipop climber, and Native bryony.
