SrI:
Dear Sri Ranganatha BhakthAs:
 
I am delighted to relay the good news from 
Srirangam about the completion of the renovation 
of Lord RanganAthA's  16 Pilalred Vasantha Mantapam .
 
This Kaimakaryam was started on Feb 10 and 
has been completed in ~Sixteen days .We came under
the budget estimate (45K Rs expenditure versus
estimate of 50K Rs.) .
 
Here are the details on what has been done: 
 
1) All the plants , creepers and trees that had grown 
on the roof and ramparts have been removed to 
the roots . Additional renovation includes :
 
2) 1204 square feet roof area has been covered with 
burnt lime ( SuNNAmbu) and red brick powder for
strength and longevity .
 
3) Another layer of painting with mixed material of red oxide, 
Cement and special oil has been applied as reinforcer of
the first layer of painting .
 
4) 650 Square feet of outside walls have recieved new cement 
after removal of disfigured old layers of cement .
 
5) Weather caused distortions at the joints of granite 
slabs have been lined up with application of new bonding 
cement . The inner ceiling has been painted over to protect
against humidity and moisture related problems .
 
6) Disfigured joints have been removed and recemented .
 
7) The water tank on top of the mantapam has been cleaned .
 
8) A yellow layer of Painting has been applied for aesthetics . 
 
As Sri Murali Battar states in the mail below , 
this Mantapam is resplendent now to recieve the visit 
of Lord RanganathA during His 18 visits during each year  .
Sriman Murali Battar observes that this Mantapam
" has become very elegant among all Mantapams ".    
 
My personal Thanks to all of You ( Arangan ThirumuRRatthu
adiyArkaL)  for joining in this Kaimkaryam for our BhUlOka-
VaikunTha Naathan , Sri RanganAthan . We will release soon
a new e-book in our Ahobilavalli series (Sri RangarAja
Sthavam : Volume I of Five ) to commemorate this occasion . 
 
KulasEkhara Padi Kaimkaryam starts
*********************************************
 
The KulasEkhara Padi Kaimkaryam inside the Garbha 
Gruham is about to start  now with the measurements by
the Silver Smith on March 4 . We will use 15 Kilo Grams of
Silver to create the new KulasEkhara Padi to replace
the current worn-out Padi .
 
Final Appeal
****************
Most of the samarpaNams are in now except for a few
from those who pledged  and wished to take part in
this rare Kaimakryam to our Lord . May I request
you to contact me to complete the last 5 to 10 percent
of assembling the samarpaNams to have all the funds
needed for this Mahaa Kaimkaryam ? Thank you .
 
We will keep the fund raising open for another
7-10 days at the most .

Subject: Voucher for 16 Pillar Mandapam.

Adiyen!
 
All work had been finished for 16 Pillar mandapam which was very much
dilapidated three weeks before.  Now this has taken a new look by all of your
support and has became very elegant among all mandapams.  Our Temple
officials are also very very happy with the results of  this kainkaryam. 
We, the Srirangam Temple staff , are all much indebted to You
all , who took part in this noble Kainkaryam.
 
Herewith I am enclosing the copy of the voucher produced
by the contractor for this kainkaryam.
 
Thanking you ,
 
Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan
