My own home village has no less than five swyambhus, some more obvious than others - the main deity of the place is a lingam-shaped anthill.

It&#039;s pareidolia of course, but at the same time, some of those things are just damn beautiful, and sometimes I wish I could just see them without the tonnes of ornamentation that prevailing custom heaps on them... But they&#039;re beautiful nonetheless.

I think this one would be looked upon by my South Indian Brahmin compatriots as something akin to Pentacostalists turning cartwheels in the aisles... Considering some of the better examples I&#039;ve seen, it&#039;s rather unconvincing, besides... ;)</description>
