Bangalore Temple Restoration
A comprehensive restoration project for a heritage temple in the heart of Bangalore, showcasing the precision and artistry of Shivarapatna stone carving.
Project Brief
The project involved the restoration of the main sanctum and the outer walls of a historic temple. The original carvings had weathered significantly over the last century, and the goal was to replace damaged sections with identical hand-carved stone pieces.
Scope of Work
- Detailed documentation and mapping of existing damaged carvings.
- Sourcing of high-quality local granite matching the original stone.
- Hand-carving of over 50 unique architectural elements.
- On-site installation and integration with the existing structure.
The Process
Our process began with creating precise clay models of the damaged sections. Once approved, our master carvers in Shivarapatna spent months meticulously shaping the granite blocks using traditional chisels and hammers. Each piece was then finished with a light polish to match the aged look of the temple.
