 A hermitage and a temple to Shiva must be nearby, and natural impressions of a conch-shell and "chakra (wheel)" must be on the trunk.After the tree is felled, sections are selected for carving and the remainder is buried; the location is then considered sacred.The logs are placed in a wooden six-wheeled oxcart and transported to the temple, where they are kept in the "koili vaikuntha" ("koili" means "burial ground", and "vaikuntha" means "heaven"); the old deities are buried, and the new ones made.
