New Map of Kauai's Hindu Monastery

As those who have been on the grounds know, the 70 acres of the monastery are complex, varied, full of surprises. in preparation for a virtual tour we are designing for digital pilgrims, we recently had a new map created by Hiroko Letman, a Japanese landscape designer living on Kauai. She did a great job, and we share her work today for all to enjoy.

An annotated overview to give you a sense of what is where.

Same map without all the text.

The vegetable garden with its raised beds, and in the lower left a palm grove.

Iraivan Temple and the nearby Wailua River

Our palm and fruit tree orchards. The 100 avocados at the bottom were just planted a few days back, so she drew them before they were in the ground!
