Sorry, this is all I can find.
Kailasanatha Temple at Kanchi, c.700 A.D.; Temple of the Holy Mountain dedicated to Shiva
The Kailasantha Temple (the popular name given to the entire eighth century complex) was begun under the patronage of the Rashtrakutan ruler, Krishna II (r. 757-783). Although some sections are dedicated to different Hindu gods, the monument is lite rally a "magic mountain" in living rock where the theme of the sacred mountain abode (Mount Kailasa) of Siva and his consort Parvati is repeated several times. The archotect and sculptor attempted to visualize the universe in this massive stone cutting a nd oriented the structure to correspond to the four cardinal directions, the world compass. In the cell of the temple, the unit for individual worship in the Hindu faith, was buried a box containing a "wealth of the earth, stones, gems, herbs, roots, met als and soils, tieing the temple to ancient fertility beliefs and emphasizing the vitality of the religion.
The story is interesting that goes with it at this address:

All the mountains in India.
The most popular is Kailasa Mountain because it is shaped like a penis.
Masons etc. worship MAHA BONE which is an ice outcropping in a cave atop the High Himalayas ( the origin of the Ganges River).
The ice outcropping is also shaped like a penis.
