The Acharya should commence the rituals concerned with the installation of the
linga, one and half hour before the auspicious time fixed for the actual installation.
Having lifted the linga-image from the couch and holding it, the Acharya should

linga at the center of the pedestal designed for that, with the accompaniment of
mula mantra.
