Granite Bases for Bronzes

This morning Sadasivanathaswami received the photo above of a circular granite base from Thurai Rajasankara in Bengaluru. It's part of a massive push the team there is making. Paramacharya wrote a note to the team that is responsible for the bronze masterpieces, and we thought you would like to look in on the conversation:

Aoha, one and all!

Our team in India is working 20 hours a day to get many things ready for a December shipment of multiple containers. It's quite a push of willpower on their part. 

Just now we received a photo from India of a base completed yesterday, and sharing it with you brings much joy this morning.

Basically, we have designed a simple base for all of the bronze masterpieces we are doing together (team effort can do magical things!). Each bronze sculpture will sit atop a six-inch high granite base, carved with a rough, contemporary texture. This round one is unusual, most are more rectangular. The round one is made to hold the silpi shown below sharpening a chisel on a solid metal brick. The whole effect will be compelling, the metal you are all producing married to the stone from the same quarry as Iraivan carved by the same team. Perfect!
