Shivling in the Himalaya of India

Shivling ( 6543m )

Shivling is in the Gangotri Group
 in the western Garhwal Himalaya.

It is in the state of Uttarakhand
 some 6km (4 miles ) south
of the Hindu holy site of Gaumukh
- the source of the Bhagirathi River.

 Its name refers to its status
 as a sacred symbol of the Hindu god Shiva.

 It is known as " Matterhorn Peak "
by Europeans due to its similarity with the Swiss peak.

 It is a dramatic peak
and a coveted prize for mountaineers.
