THREATENED: The Chaturmukha ("four-faced") lingam shows the face of Shiva on the four sides of the lingam pillar, the symbol of the deity's creative power. Many such lingams have been stolen, and this piece, is very much in danger of being so. Panchdeval Chowk, Pashupatinath. Photo: 7. 12. 85. (Fig. E176/G3).
