This is an amazing image...Patal Yoni--an underground temple with a 'Shiva ling' without the ling, only the Yoni! This image carries a lot of meaning for me...because the dais in this area, Bihar, Bengal, Chattisgarh, use the word Narak to describe the afterbirth and birth time is Narak ka Samay...
No coincidence that the inside of the female reproductive body, and the under the earth--the 'underground' is narak--and here is revered. Powerful and Sacred
