I acquired this lingam in Cambodia and was told that many Cambodians practice their own version of abhishek by pouring water over the lingam and then anointing their heads with the water as a blessing for protection and good luck.
The term lingam is sometimes used synonymously for shivalingam, a specific type of icon or altar representing Shiva. The Lingam is a symbol for the worship of the Hindu deity Shiva. The use of this symbol for worship is an ancient tradition in India extending back at least to the early Indus Valley civilization.
