What matters more than the length of the list is the attention you bring to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No Shiva Linga at home? An image, an idol, or even a Rudraksha bead can take its place, since Rudraksha is traditionally considered a form of Shiva himself.<a href=\"https:\/\/rudralife.com\/blog\/what-is-rudraksha-a-complete-beginners-guide\/\"><br><strong>Read: What Is Rudraksha?
