Iraivan Perimeter Wall and Gomukai Blessings

For the first time in eight years, a puja was held for Iraivan temple's constuction. Satguru was there to bless the perimeter wall's first short-pillar which begins the placement of of the rest of the perimeter wall stones. He laid the first layer of concrete as well as placing some gems underneath.

Another blessing was given to the placement of the Nandi Mandapam's Gomukai. Truly a fantastic step in Iraivan's progress.
