Installation of the 1008 Lingam Cabinet

Today the Ganapati Kulam installed the 1008 lingam cabinet in the media studio. The cabinet resides on the east wall of the Cedar room, above the counter. It was made in Pakistan and is built entirely of rosewood with a brass inlay at the bottom which reads "Om Namah Sivaya" in Tamil. Within each of those 1008 little boxes will reside a small stone lingam. The backing behind the rosewood is an ornate golden wallpaper, and the rest of the surrounding walls will be covered in the soon-to-arrive mural wallpaper.

First the backing had to be put on, and then the team gathered to lift the cabinet into place

We put blocking under it and seamlessly pushed it into position upon the wall

after a bit of a workout, we got into place to be screwed down.

It looks lovely, especially with the gold wallpaper shining from behind
