Iraivan Temple Progress

We've recently received these photos from our carving site in Bengaluru. Great progress is being made on Iraivan Temple's parameter wall and the red granite pots which will sit atop it. Because these stones are not part of the main temple structure, the siplis can utilize small electric tools which are greatly speeding up their masterful work. The main pieces being carved are the wide panels which display carved scripture, the ornate pieces which go between them and the previously mentioned granite pots.

An amazing team of master craftsmen

while electric tools can be used for rough shaping, the detail work is done by hand
