Temple Builders' Pavilion

The evolution of the Temple Builders' Pavilion continues. This first image shows it before the three stone chains were installed as handrails, and also before today's black stone frame was installed. It is getting close to perfection! Yet, it was also perfect as it evolved, no?

The entire workshop has ten life-sized persons, with Gurudeva and architect V. Ganapati Sthapati standing in the center on the large raw stone.

We ordered these black volcanic bricks from Bali that arrived in February.

They are hand shaped, so each is quite individual. We could say \"very unique\" except we would be breaching our own rules which tell us that unique has no useful or acceptable modifiers.

Notice here that the floor of the silpi workspace just ends, looking a bit unfinished.

The Bali bricks were installed to form an edging.

This gives a more formal and charming effect to the space.

Now we need to pressure wash the floor!

Good job, everyone! \"Thank you,\" Gurudeva.
