According to one interpretation of this sacred object, the Shiva lingam is divided into three distinct parts. Its bottom part is a circular base or peetham referred to as the Brahma-Pitha, on top of which is an elongated bowl-like structure called a Vishnu-Pitha. The third part of the Shiva lingam is a cylinder with a round head in the middle of the bowl and is known as a Shiva-Pitha. Another interpretation divides the object into two parts – the top half, i.e. the cylinder as the lingam and its bottom half as the yoni.
