Wonderful Temple Copy Made For Shooting Badrinath Based Movie


Anand Sai The Architect ferried workers from Mumbai to Kullu-Manali for the Badrinath set of Allu Arjun's film. He created the set here, dismantled into pieces and shifted it to Kullu. Six hundred workers sweated it out for two months in different climates. The original Badrinath temple is 80ft/40ft, our creation is 260ft/40ft. The interiors have been created in Hyderabad giving it a 50 year old look of the Badrinath temple.Kullu was a preferred destination as they needed the Nepali, Mongolian features from the junior artistes. A village was created before the temple on 25 acres of land for which they sought government permission. Sai created many miniature sets to seek approval. The Takshasila set is another marvel.

Nara Naryana Creation From Narayana

Swami Narayan

Shiva


Once Lord Shiva tried to bring the fame of Nara and Narayana before the entire world. To do that, he hurled his own potent weapon Paashupathastra at the meditating rishis. The power of their meditation was so intense that the astra lost its power before them. Lord Shiva stated that this happened since the duo were jnanis of the first order constantly in the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
