Iraivan Temple Update - April 23rd

Aum Namah Sivaya,

With the kodimaram placed, work continues on the Nandi Mandapam's stairs and on the area at the base of the kodimaram. In the sanctum, carving is being done around the walls and the sanctum doors are also resting quietly, awaiting their eventual installation when the temple gets closer to completion.

They will remain wrapped for some time, but we are given a glimpse into their glory

Here is where the door will attach to the frame

Speaking of Iraivan...

Here is where the doors will go

Inside we find the carvings near the ceiling are being worked on

These designs have been here a ling time, waiting to be carved

Outside at the Nandi Mandapam the sound of chipping is constant

The base hole for the kodimaram has been fully filled with sand and is being prepped for the stone that will go here.

If work slows in other areas, the wall gets attention. Aum Namah Sivaya
