Every 12 years, lightning breaks this shivling & a ritual brings it back

In the Hindu trinity of Gods, we have Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva. And among the three, Lord Shiva is believed to be the fiercest of them all, but also extremely calm and peaceful, always looking after his devotees. And so he is loved, feared, worshipped, treated as a brother and son, and also respected.
When praying to Lord Shiva, devotees ask for boons, blessings, strength, wisdom, and protection, and much more, and there are ‘n’ number of temples of Lord Shiva around India and the world.
