TILUNA : Rajagopuram art pieces

An empty canvas with as many as 82,975 tiny holes is transformed into a brilliant piece of art, by half cross-stitch embroidery, depicting the tallest temple tower in the world, the Rajagopuram of Srirangam. About 800 metres of embroidery thread in 10 different colours are sewn through the holes, taking about 3 months for the edifice to arise. As many as 1,150 such art pieces have been created and will be on display stretching to about 800 metres, by about 750 students in the Sethalakshmi Ramaswamy College, Trichy on October 6th, 2007.

SRIRANGAM CENTURIES AGO

The Sri Ranganathaswamy temple in Srirangam Island encircled by the Cauvery and Coleroon rivers has a unique place in Indian history. The base only of the Rajagopuram was designed with all grandiose and constructed by the great Chola kings almost 10 centuries ago. However it was in the year 1987 that the Rajagopuram, the 238-foot, highest temple tower in the world was completed, by the 44th pontiff of the Ahobila Mutt.
