A large panipitha: Shiva lingam

Out of a block of black granite, that I had lying around as a remaining piece from a smaller panipitha in black granite, I played a big Shiva lingam with my saw. The material is very tough and difficult to work because it is very dense and fragments in a glass-like way . But the result speaks for itself.

When Shiva lingam and the upper part of the panipitha finished I both due by slings with duct tape to secure the round shape. It is otherwise nearly impossible to hoist. (see also the photos of the final placement)
