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.

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.

The river Cauvery has been nurturing music, dance, painting, granite sculpture, and bronze idols, and inspired brilliant works of poetry and religious works touching all aspects of human life.

And the city sports the majestic Sri Thayumanavar temple on top of the Rockfort, which is much older than the Himayalayan rocks. And the island also is the seat of Jambukeswara, the Panchabutha representing the element water the basis of all forms of life in the planet.
