Linga Topiary

Chitrakarini Temple Grounds

Now here is something that you will not find every day, nor indeed any place but Chitrakarini. A small bush on the grounds has been sculpted into the form of a lingam, surrounded by low foliage that represents the yoni. Just when you think you've seen everything, India discloses something delightful and new. It's why we keep coming back: tourists, students, and scholars alike.
