TOVP: Choosing the best decorations for the Temple of Vedic Planetarium. (Album with photos)
As research goes on, we always try to find the best materials for the TOVP.
Some times they come from Europe, South America and other far away places, but other times we can find them locally, here in West Bengal.
Sadbhuja Prabhu has recently visited an iron factory in Kolkata.
The factory has been operating for over 100 years and they have more then 600 workers!
They also export to many countries.
In this images we can see samples of cast iron that the factory can produce.
It is very versatile to use this technique, as one can create any design at any size and thickness.
We plan to make the railings for the Tovp in cast iron.
This peacock design will be the first sample of iron casting, and will be used on the Prabhupada Bridge.
This as well, is part of the finishing work for the TOVP.
