KAUAI, HAWAII, July 12, 2002: India Today’s recent edition carries a fine article on the Iraivan Hindu Temple being built here at Kauai’s Hindu Monastery, home of Hinduism Today and Hindu Press International. The hand-carved, white granite, Chola-style ornate temple will be the first all-stone temple in America. The author visited the temple carving site located outside Bangalore. He was very impressed with the extremely well-run operation and exquisite craftsmanship of the temple workers. The temple’s architect is Sri Ganapati Sthapati, who built the colossal Saint Tiruvalluvar statue located in the sea at Cape Comorin, the southern tip of India.
