Granite Bell Tower Installation – Part 1
Jai Ganesha!
Over the last few days we've seen the first major steps of the installation of the Redwood Granite Bell Tower that is being built near Iraivan Temple's Temple Builder's Pavilion. For over a year, this hand-carved masterpiece has been in the works as a side project of the Ganapati Kulam and under the oversight of Acharya Kumarnathaswami, who has done most of the woodworking himself.
For those that don't know, this tower hangs a granite bell that was carved on the same stone of Iraivan Temple. When struck with a wooden mallet, it produces a unique evanescence that only reverberating stone could make.
