I need some guidance regarding a situation.
I live on the top floor of my house. Our neighbours used to have access to one of our terraces because it was connected to their floor, and we had no problem letting them use it.
On that terrace, we have several plant pots. A few months ago, my neighbour (an aunty) placed a small Shivling in one of the pots and used to perform daily puja there. I personally saw her doing Abhishek and worshipping it many times.
Two days ago, they permanently moved out of the house, but the Shivling is still there on our terrace.
I’m unsure what the appropriate thing to do is according to Hindu traditions. Should I continue taking care of it, try to contact them to collect it, or is there a proper way to respectfully relocate or immerse it if they don’t come back?
I’m looking for guidance based on traditional practices. Thank you.
