Kaliyar Sharif Parad ShivlingThe Parad Shivling
(also know as Mercury Shivalinga) is a highly
significant mythological site of the Hindus. The word Shivalinga is
derived from a combination of two words 'shiva' (refers to Lord
Shiva) and 'lingam' (a sacred symbol of Lord Shiva).
To visit the Parad Shivling, you need to drive to the town of Kankhal,
located at a distance of 6 km from the holy town of
Haridwar. The shivling is enshrined inside the Harihar Ashram
in Kankhal. The purpose behind visiting the Parad Shivling is to seek
blessings and favour of Lord Shiva, the supreme god in the Shaiva
Hindu tradition. Those who follow this tradition are termed as
Shaivites.    The Parad Shivling weighs around
150 kg. Apart from visiting the shivling at the
Harihar Ashram, you can also see the Rudraksha
tree, another big attraction for devotees. The seed of this
mythological tree known as rudraksha are worn by devotees. These seeds
are believed to have healing power. These seeds emit a kind of energy as
they touch the heart of the person who wears them. It is also believed
to do wonders and is worn to achieve growth and prosperity in life.
