New Sign for Rudraksha Forest Gate

A new sign has been installed at the entrance to the Rudraksha Forest and Hanuman. It is an experiment with new technology--the art is printed directly on an aluminum plate that measures four feet high and nine feet long. The printing is beautiful, and we will now see how it weathers in the tropical climate. Sadasivanathaswami and Kumarnathaswami took it out three days back and permanently attached it between the entry and exit gates. Now visitors driving down the road will have a strong landmark to find the forest.

This is an early design in two colors when we thought it would be etched with a water jet.

We prepare the gate for installation. This one does not open.

Placing it to see if it actually fits. It does!

We attach first with clamps to hold it in place. It weights about 40 pounds.
