Nadappura Gopuram - Tiles laying work - Shramadaan - 28th, 29th May, 2022
Tile laying for the newly constructed Nadappura Gopuram was undertaken on 28th & 29th, May, 2022. The entire work was carried out on Shramadaan basis & was performed between 6.30 - 9.30 PM. The finer finishing works will be carried over next couple of days.
Mangalore roof clay tiles with inner ceiling tiles were used for the gopuram roof. The 3 `mukha maadu/kuru maadu` accentuated the unique look. This new addition of Nadappura Gopuram has given a majestic facelift to the temple`s panoramic view.
Men, women and children of all ages took part in the Shramadaan with great enthusiasm and devotion. The stand-out feature of shramadaan was the participation of some 3 generations of few families. The innocent enthusiasm with which the young children took part in the shramadaan was as if conveying a poignant statement of carrying forward of the dharmic torch by new generation.
