Om Trivyank yjamahe sugandhi pushti vardhanam
Urvakikmav vandhana- mrityo murshie mamtaat

Om namaho shivae, om namaho shivae
Tera pal - pal bita jaye, om namaho shivae

Shiv - shiv tum hirdaye se bolo, mann mandir ka parda kholo
Tera avsar khali na jaye, om namaho shivae - hari Om namaho shivae.

Shiva is worshipped as a lingam to help us contemplate the need to think of Him as the most basic and essentially formless one. Shiva is commonly portrayed as an ascetic with a serpent around His neck, vibhooti (sacred ash) adorning His face and His essentially bare body, a trishul (trident) in one of His hands and a kamandalu (container of water for use in religious practices) in an other hand, and a damaruga (small drum) in yet another hand.
