A cement floor at the Kamakshi Amma shrine, and that was the end of it

We laid the cement floor under Kamakshi Amma, and that was the end of it.

It came in the way everything came in. We packed the cement and the sand into bags at the road, carried them half a kilometre into the forest, and mixed them on the spot. The water was carried in too. That is how it went from the first bag in 2021 to the last one here.

13–20 February 2025

The sandbags dropped on the ground near the temple after being carried in.

The floor went down on the 16th and was finished by the 18th, and after that we kept watering it.

Nothing was planned after this and nothing else was done. Three and a half years, and it finishes on a floor.
