Khirkee-Ki-Khoj: Temple Installation
The Temple Installation project was undertaken by two artists at the Sai Baba temple, a landmark in Khirkee Village. After several discussions with the temple priest, they began working on a sculpture for the temple. The final installation was a 6 foot globe-like structure made of iron, which had 450 bells of various sizes welded onto it.
About this programme
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 quite some time, he had asked if we could make a statue for his temple. After several discussions with the temple priest, artists Ram Bali and Aastha Chauhan finalised the installation design. Inspired by the ongoing temple bells, the installation envisaged was a 6 foot 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.
