A pedestal should be designed so as to be in proportionate measurement, in such a way as
suitable to the performance of ablution. It should be associated with the girdle and a chasm,
presenting a plesant appearance. The pedestal should be with a height of 8 digits(angulas)
and its side should be with the dimension of 4 hastas. Such pedestal should be in the
middle of the sacrificial hall. The Acharya should design such pedestal for other types
of lingas by increasing the dimension by one hasta, if the measures are in terms of hastas.
Or, the pedestal may be with the breadth of two hastas or one hasta. The super structure(kuta)
above the pedestal should be with same dimension as that of the pedestal. A thatched shed may be
designed outside this pavilion.

Or, in the case of sarvadesika type, a thatched shed may be erected there with its side being
in increased width. In the case of sarvatobhadra type, a superstructure may be designed
above this thatched shed. In the case of inferior type of linga, it may be designed so
as to be with elegant appearance and strength
