This is really a awesome example for the early chola's of 9th century. The temple situated around 30 km from kumbakonam. The panels are in the size of nearly 10 * 10 inches.
We had a camp at Satchiananda Jothi Nikethan school, Metupalayam. Just 200 mts away from Black thunder. Made a demo of wax sculptures and metal casting for two days. The students are really interested and eager too. Atmosphere of the school is really suits for education and sports. I made a wax model of blossoming portrait nearly filled with 1.5 kg of bronze. We made our own furnace for dewaxin g and bronze casting. Had a tough time to finish it in two days but we did. And a very nice experience to teach class for school ages.
