Kailasha
The Lingam is an abstract and symbolic representation of Hindu god Shiva. The Lingam is a short cylindrical structure placed on the ground. This structure is believed to have existed in different forms for several thousands of years in Asia. It is made out of precious rocks, stones and metals. There structures constitute of mainly three parts, namely Brahma-Pitha, Vishnu-Pitha, and Shiva-Pitha.
The digital illustrations and renders based on hyper-realism were created from scratch with a touch of imagination, not being a mere replica of what exists but an almost accurate representation of the Lingam. The statue is adorned with bloomed red and yellow flowers and perched precariously on a mountain top, making it look more surreal and beautiful.
