Idamani
The temple at Idamani - a small Dalit hamlet situated spectacularly on an island near Chennai - is Navya Shastra’s first construction project. The 2004 tsunami decimated Idamani and much of its surroundings, so Navya Shastra decided to step in and help in a small way. We owe the project’s success to Navya Shastra supremo Jaishree. The picture is from the July Kumbabhishekham (inauguration) ceremony organized with the assistance of our friends from Aim for Seva.
As a Hindu reform organization, our ultimate goal is not to build temples, but to instill our principles of equality in the hearts of all Hindus. We intend to continue our relationship with the village by funding a scholarship for promising students and - just as importantly - visiting whenever we happen to be around Chennai.
The girl is very pretty. So beautiful and such a noble cause. Please post such good pictures.
