They have erected a Shivalinga for Ajith in Sri Kotilingeshwara temple located at Kolar, Karnataka. The fans performed abhishekam and poojas for the lord Shiva in the form of Lingaa after erecting it. They claim that they have done this to stress the good ideals propounded by Ajith which should be followed by his fans. There are around 92 lakh Lingaas erected in the temple and the temple administration is aiming for one crore Lingaas. Earlier Shivalingaas have been erected by fan clubs of Superstar Rajinikanth and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan under the names of their respective matinee idols.
