SIT HERE AND I MAY APPEAR
IT OFTEN HAPPENS...
Many sit on the stone bench beside the Chakra walk, beyond the slope where my statue stands. I exist here subtly, hidden from those who only know me as a sculpture.
Some see me as an elephant gracefully navigating a tranquil lotus-filled lake, while others perceive me more abstractly—a head, nose, and observant eyes.
Here, what you perceive reflects your inner depths. I am present for each seeker who comes here. Explore and you may glimpse my true essence.
I embrace those who come with reverence, promising to connect with seekers uncovering their true essence.

Discover tranquility as you rest on the black marble slab atop the naturally formed pyramid rock, known for its magnetic power that stills inner chaos. Reflect upon the magnificence of Mount Kailash and the serenity of Lake Mansarovar in this peaceful setting.
Focus on Lord Shiva and embrace Mother Earth's magnetic energy, finding calm as inner turmoil fades, inviting a transformative journey through life's essence and transient nature.
