The Restoration Of The Krishna Temple – Neeta Das

The Restoration Of The Krishna Temple – Neeta Das | With an international consultant team, the local engineers, supervisors, and stone craftsmen executed the restoration work. Training programs were held for the local team. All stones were duly marked on the drawings and on-site. All materials were tested and compatible alternatives employed for restoration. Where possible old stones were repaired with adhesive and dowelled with stainless steel pins; at other places new carved and un-carved stone pieces replaced the old ones. The removal of the old column, propping up the lintel, and replacement with a new stone, needed careful structural design and planning. Some of the damaged masonry was dismantled and re-assembled. Compatible lime mortar was used for all construction and pointing works.
