Summary edit

The 108-foot statue of Shiva at Mauritius, Ganga Talao Lake. Link to image at Flickr. Author: Ashok Prabhakaran (formerly Ashok666). This image was originally posted to Flickr by Ashok666 at https://www.flickr.com/photos/10222491@N06/5656625468. It was reviewed on 2 May 2011 by Commons User FlickreviewR and was confirmed to be licensed under the terms of the cc-by-sa-2.0. Reason for local upload: The statue was unveiled in 2007, hence the sculptor is likely alive. Unfortunately there is no freedom of panorama in Mauritius for copyrighted works of art. However, this photo is of great enough importance to the article on Hinduism to merit local uploading as fair use.
