KAUAI, HI, USA, June 26, 2009: Tirumala’s Lord Venkateshwara Temple has recently announce plans to golf-plate much of its most sacred areas. It is a project of gigantic proportions, using 300kg of gold. But it is possible to make your temple look golden with much less than that–actually, at an affordable price.
Kadavul temple, on the island of Kauai and just outside Hinduism Today’s offices, had its kodimaram gold-leafed today. Experts from The Gilder’s Studio (see their website http://gilders.com/ ) executed the work in less than two days, using modern techniques that will allow the gold to remain in place for a long time.
HPI wants to open our readers to the possibility of gold-leafing in America, especially the kodimaram. Gold, according to the vastu shastras, is the metal most akin to high spirituality.
