The pavilion should be associated with four entrances and four decorative arches(made of
mango leaves and others), with eight auspicious insignia and auspicious containers of sprouts,
and with newly desiged flags. It should be adorned with darbha-grass and garlands of
flowers. This kind of pavilion is specifically recommended for the installation of linga
and pratima(images with fully manifest features). Also it is highly acceptable in all
functions such as festivals and others.

In the location recommended before, the pavilion for making the characteristic lines on the
worshipful part of the linga(pujamsa) should be erected. Having done so, the Acharya should
carve out the essential characteristic lines. Or, this may be done in some other purified
location. He should graft the pedestal meant for the linga with whet-stone, fine sands, water and
others. Then the Acharya should purify the whole image of the linga with auspicious earth
collected from various places, varieties of herbal decoction, cow-urine, pure water, cow-dung
and the perfumed and purified consecrated water. This purification should be done with
the accompaniment of astra mantra united with pranava(om) in the beginning and with the
seed letters hum and phat at the end.
