Perimeter Wall Placement

Yesterday the Silpis (with the help of Yoginathswami and a fork lift) moved many of the main portions of Iriavan Temple's perimeter wall into place along the east side of the foundation. As seen in the final photo, the finished wall will have a center section, small pillars on either side, top pieces and red granite pots to adorn tops of the pillars.

These wall pieces have been sitting for a while in the elements as they await placement. Now they can be seen along the top of the temple foundation.
