Iraivan Temple's Perimeter Wall

Aum Namah Sivaya

Today we look at the progress being made to place the initial layer of stones for Iraivan's Perimeter Wall. These are the sections and interlocking tower pieces which will display bronze panels that will offer pilgrims the temple's history, words of wisdom and scriptural verses. Today, Sannyasin Yoginathaswami and Natyam Dayanatha are working with the silpis to place more sections upon the foundation. Currently, just under half of these stones have been moved into location. They must be carefully adjusted and leveled in order to support the top sections which will eventually line the wall. Underneath the wall will be a section of lava rock which will slope down to the ground.

Yoginathaswami operates the skidsteer and lifts pieces onto the foundation

The forklift had been sinking into the mud on this side, so things will need to dry out a bit in order to lift this piece

Other carving is being done as well. These pieces are for the Nandi Mandapam

And the two entry panels are nearly complete
