Repainting Murtis Outside Kadavul

For many years, visitors to Kadavul Temple have been greeted by a fantastically carved wooden Ganesha and Muruga on either side of the temple's main entrance. Over the years of sun and rain, the paint on both carvings had begun to fade. To remedy the situation we recently hired two painters to touch them up, and over the past few weeks we've been watching the progress as a bright base layer was added, followed by a full layer of golden highlights. Aum.
