The dimension of the linga may be in even or odd number of hastas. On deciding the
dimension of the main shrine based on the dimension of linga, there may be decrease
or increase in the divisions of hasta measure. In that case, the fractions of the hasta
measure should be avoided and the dimension should be considered in terms of full
hastas by increasing or decreasing the smaller units of the hasta. There does not
occur any defect or violation in doing so. If the dimension of the main shrine is divided
into the units of angulas, correspondingly the height of the linga also should be
considered in terms of angulas, If fractions are observed, such fractions should be
avoided by coverting them into full measure.
