Placing the First Stones of Iraivan Temple's Fronts Steps

Jai Ganapati!

This week our masterful team of siplis has placed the first layer of step stones for Iraivan Temple's main entry stairway. The stairs have a precisely measured concrete foundation over which the granite pieces are placed. After spending weeks adding fine details to the stones and making sure the spacing was just right, it was time to start placing them. As the detail carvings are completed more and more layers will be added. Aum Namah Sivaya

Just a few more details to add to this one

They have to be grouted perfectly and be level, of course.

As they are fit, a liquid grout is poured in which fill the space and hardens, then the joint is cleaned
