their philosophy and import, kinds, distinctive merits of each have
occupied considerable space. Moreover, at certain places the
installation of linga is made in strange fashions - placing of seven
Lingas one over the other with holes on Panavatta for the abhishek
water to pass through and fall into the receptacle
placed outside Vide No: 141. Strangely

swallowing barrels of water, Vide No and at another place the linga
changing colours to act as barometer Vide No: 191; Again the
panavattas too are not uniform; they are completely circular, wheel
shaped - Vide No. 140 in a few places why even square shaped,
deviating from the normal circular shape drawn to a point on the
north side for water to flow down.
