This picture is just a example of the sculpting techniques of our ancestors. This photo is taken in the one of the world famous Athi Varadhar temple in kanchipuram.
According to another legend, it is believed that Parvati worshipped Shiva in the form of a Prithivi Lingam (or a Lingam improvised out of sand), under a mango tree. Legend has it that the neighboring Vegavati river overflowed and threatened to engulf the Shiva Lingam and that Parvati or Kamakshi embraced the Lingam.
