Marriage Procession of Lord Shiva
The celebration place was a wonderful place of which Kailash could be proud. A circular crystal wall constructed on the four cardinal points surrounding the celebration avenue but they were not visible due a special landscape archaeology used by Mayasura. There were four towers at the cardinal points of  North, West, South, and East, were surrounding the celebration avenue were constructed. These were made of massive single crystal covered by golden leafs on pillars. The unique design was that all those towers and circular crystal were rotating on the axis with walking speed. The Kalyan Mandapa constructed in the center of the celebration avenue in Kailash, which was also rotating on the axis when desired from west to east. Viswakarma ensured that the architecture should have characteristic structures, elements, and motifs that represent the glorious kingdom of Shiva.

Lord Shiva’s Marriage Procession started from the western pillar. It was a wonder of the wonder was happening. For the first time both Sura and Asura Lords were together. There was no enmity and ego on either side. They were extending friendliness, benevolence, goodwill, courtesy, and affection to each other.

Lord Shiva was so attractive. His body shone like a thousand Sun and a crown was sparkled on his head. His forehead covered with curly hair. He had radiant earrings hangings down his earlobes. His clothes were glittered and the lustre of his jewels put the Stars to shame. The crescent Moon was on the side of his head as an ornament as the waxing and waning phenomenon of the Moon symbolizes the time cycle through which creation evolves from the beginning to the end. He was holding a conch shell (Shankha) in one hand indicating spread of the divine sound “Om”. In other hand, he holding a Kamandal, a Water pot contains nectar. His third hand was holding a Damaru, which symbolizes the two utterly dissimilar states of existence, unmanifest and manifest and the fourth hand was holding a Trishul indicating the power and the punishing capacity of the Lord if discipline in life ignored. He was wearing the sacred thread. That was a beautiful form of Lord Shiva.
