Of the large granite panipitha all parts are ready now. Because the granite that I had lying around was too small to carve it out 1 of one piece, I had to make the spout from a separate part and bond that perfectly with the rest. It is glued with strong epoxy glue , supported by 3 thick stainless steel wire ends of 2 cms thick. Finally also the ugly glue seam had to be neatly finished and the shapes made to match.

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)
