A Sunny Day for Temple Tile Repair

Jai Ganesha!

After several weeks of grey cloud-cover and massive amounts of rainfall, today our monks have enjoyed a full day of bright sun and blue, rainless skies. The grounds are already beginning to warm up and the many well-watered plants are bursting at the seams with fruits and new growth. This is a perfect chance to work on the remaining tile-replacement around Kadavul Temple. While the area we'd been working on out front has been finished, the focus now turns to the temple-side path that leads to the small Ganesha shrine. While some tiles are cracked, many can be restored and reset. Aum.

A beautiful sunny day at Kauai Aadheenam!

Our monks haven\

t seen blue skies in a long time'

The plants are happy. This little pineapple plant has decided to fruit!

Over near Kadavul Temple, some of the tile is still in bad shape.

When grass is growing in it, you know things have gotten pretty bad.

Ganesha blesses our efforts

Nirvani Tejadevanatha begins the process of popping up the tiles

It\

s much easier than it should have been because the grout was in bad shape'

These tiles will be cleaned and reused

This afternoon, Nirvani uses a small jackhammer to lift up the remaining grout.

Aum.
