Just the other day, an Indian man who had visited Angkor Wat in Cambodia showed me pictures which he had taken there. He said there were many lesser known old Hindu temples around Angkor Wat and he specificallly pointed out to a Lingam in one of the temples.The Lingam or Linga, I have heard is a symbol of the phallus and is often represented with Yoni which is a represntation of the female reprodcutive organ. It has been said too that the Lingam represents the Hindu deity Shiva while the Yoni represents the goddess Shakti. Whatever it represents, the Lingam is definitely very Indian and as in Cambodia, there are many signs of Indian influences in Bali. Pura Goa Gajah, as you have known, is a Hindu temple. The walls are in ruins and you'd not as much as take a look at the remains of the candi walls but the northern part of Pura Goa Gajah is quite interesting. There is a T-shaped cave-like structure there and besides a statue of the Hindu God, Ganesha, you can find inside, a lingam. Everyone loves a lingam!
You'd have to look for your lingam!
Traveling Tip: You have to search!
