Tovp Update: January 2012 part one
28 January 2012

Its been a while since I posted any updates on the TOVP construction. Its zooming ahead and becoming more and more awesome as each day goes by.

The front stairways are almost complete. The eastern side is cast, the western side is nearing completion.

It really gives a sense of how big the building is when you are stood at the foot of the step facing up towards the main entrance.

From the centre of the temple room floor you can now see the three gallery levels.

And above them the support columns for the main dome are racing up towards the sky. A further 40+ feet high of wall will be added to what you see here before the dome itself is added.

TOVP Update January 2012 cont.
28 January 2012

Looking across from the top gallery the height is the same as the top of the Samadhi. Impressive views all around, with Mayapur city growing as fast as the temple.

Looking down from the top gallery to the present temple and Conch building.

And looking down into the new temple room from the third gallery level

Now Lord Nrsimhadeva’s temple is under construction and is schedule for completion of the superstructure by the end of this April

One problem the managers have encountered is a shortage of local workers. They are not used to working at such height and the increased danger means absenteeism is a bit of a problem. About 70% of the work force are from Bihar.

Here’s Govinda prabhu, our on-site supervisor, with the February casting schedule of laying the floor slabs. If schedule is met, the workers get a bonus.

Here’s the west wing which will house the planetarium theatre and exhibits

Govinda informed me that the entire superstructure should be finished within one year from now. Right now the building is only approx. one third of its total height! So watch out for a lot more exciting shots from the TOVP construction.
