Satguru Visit The Bengaluru Carving Site
A note from Thurai about the progress the of the wall stones:
The top layer of stones is called the Kapothaga Vari, which comprise all of the stones that form the upper layer below the pot and above the wall.
The base layer is called the Kanda Vari and comprises of the pillars and the wall sections in between them. There are a total of 35 wall panels with those borders. The other will just be plain ones.
For the count, totally there are 50 red pots. The Kapothaga Vari course consists and 50 bigger stones which sit above the pillar and 49 linear sections sitting on the wall. The Kanda Vari consists of 49 wall sections that include the 35 bordered and 14 plain ones and the 50 Pillar sections. The total count of stones are 248.
So far we have completed about 60% of the pillars which have the intricate carving on them and about 60% of the Kapothaga vari stones which sit on the pillar. Other than that we have just completed two wall panels and are working on the balance, 33 pieces. The linear Kapotaga Vari pieces are about 70% complete. The pots we have just started and completed 3 pieces.
Please note that the percentages of work are estimates only based on a rough count of stones completed and nearing completion soon. Also the percentage may be inaccurate as some wall panels are long and some are small. The range from 8-11.5 feet in length.
