PAMHO, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Dear Devotees,
As previously mentioned, we have been concentrating on the interior and exterior finishing work for the TOVP.
We talked about the Pink Sandstone from Rajastan and the Grc Workshop.
While the pink stone was arriving to Mayapur, Sadbhuja Prabhu was returning from Bolivia.
He had to travel to pick the best quality blue marble from our Bolivian vendors.
Bolivian blue marble is a very prestigious marble, only an expert can select a good batch.
This splendid blue marble will be used for the altars of Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Panchatattva and Guru Parampara.
This is our last purchase of the Blue Marble from Bolivia.
The art team has also been very busy.
Led by Bhaskara Prabhu, they created a 7 feet (2.1 M) tall murti of King Indra in Ganga mud and straw.
This murti will appear in the left wing of the temple, over-looking the Nrshimha Dev altar.
Indra, the king of Suwarga Loka and the Demigods, bows down to the fierce form of Lord Nrshimha Dev.
In this pastime of the appearance of Lord Nrshimha Dev, as described in the Srimad Bhagavatam 7th canto, other demigods will be present offering their respects to the Lord.
Once a model is created, the casting progress will commence to make the murtis. Next they will be colourfully painted.
Your servant
