Mani, Thank you for raising this topic. Ive always complained about it and have felt very bad about the new fashion that has caught up with all the temples in Tamil Nadu. But even when the Raja Gopuram was re-constructed (or expanded), it had this new coloring. What is very obsene about his is the use of OIL PAINTS....and it wouldnt have looked that bad if it was atleast the Chunam. Is there a way to stop this...nothing to beat the old traditional architecture and their original forms. Why dont people just stick to renovating it by cleaning it and removing the extra layer of dirt... Please someone help..!! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
