Khirkee-ki-Khoj: Temple Installation
| Sep 2005 -

The Sai Baba temple is a landmark in Khirkee Village.
Head priest of the temple, Pandit Arvind Narayan Mishra and I had been in conversation for a while. He had asked us if we could make a ‘statue’ for his temple. After several discussions with the temple priest, artists Ram Bali and Aastha Chauhan finalized the installation design. In tune with the resounding temple bells, the installation envisaged was a 6 feet globe like structure made of iron, which had 450 bells of various sizes welded onto it. A pivot base enabled the structure to spin along its axis.
