Kshanika Linga ("ephemeral") - A linga is a pillar-shaped item that represents the deity Shiva.
A kshanika linga is built using whatever materials are
available, whether dirt, sand, grain, butch, or any other thing that may be
piled and sculpted, for instant devotion.
Although God is everywhere, this utilization of contemporary
pictures illustrates a fundamental component of Hindu religious life: many
people operate better when they have a specific target for their religious
attention.
As a result, God is willing to enter even the most insignificant things if they were made with him (or her) in mind.
