Of a garden that grew

ByKoen van Velzen 23-09-201309-02-2026

I received the photo below today the panipitha via email, and was surprised how the garden around it has grown by now , since at the time of installing it was all still a mud bath and only this spring the first plants were planted. Very good manure they used, one might think.

Shiva lingam, Shivling, Shivalinga, lingam yoni, linga, Shivaling, buy Shiva lingam Netherlands, Shivling, Shiva linga, Shiv ling, panipitha+lingam, black lingam,

To the right of the panipitha you can see a stainless steel pipe coming out of the ground. It is intended that water will flow out of it, by means of a bent tube, over the black lingam. The water will later flow back to the canal through a gutter.

It's very nice to see how a sculpture gradually takes over its space, and how an atmosphere is created in the garden where it is part of. That's why I wanted to dedicate a short message to it.

Nasty the first message about this project.

    Carving Four Dolphins Into New Stone

    Four classic dolphins in sandstone Sometimes there are those assignments that I dread a bit, because of the high quality work it demands. I'll admit that the next job wasn't easy. It was one of the two early 20th-century dolphin ornaments that adorned the Art'otel building on the…

    Installing the large Shivalingam and Panipitha

It all together weighs about one metric tonne; it's 125 cm wide by 125 cm high and 175 cms long. By the way…

    Presawing

    When carving a sculpture out of a block of stone it will be obvious that a lot of stone, will have to be removed. Just removing that stone is not too complicated, and with the right tools that can go very quickly . The point is just to know where it needs to be removed, and that is usually…
