This supplement to Jennings’s earlier volumes on phallic worship gathers reports, mostly from missionaries and travellers, on the cult of the linga in India: the lingam and its shrines, the bull Nandi, Shiva the destroyer, legends of rivers and the churning of the sea, and sects such as the Jangams.
