Kona is finished. This is the one still ahead of me.
One crore people, each writing the name of Rama and the name of Shiva by hand, a hundred and eight times each, on a card. Every card written is enshrined inside the building, so the temple is founded on what a crore people wrote rather than on a rite performed once.
It inverts the Rama Koti, which asks one person for a crore names, and asks a crore people for one card each instead. It rests on shivakeshavulu okkate — Shiva and Vishnu are one — and the murti carries that through.
I have written the card to somewhere around its tenth version, A4 cut into four A6, and the Telugu on the back is still a working draft. There is a mood bible, a structure document with a spiral floor plan, and the first screen of the site designed and prototyped. There is no printed card, no collected card, no land, no building and no date. The distribution network exists on paper. I am the only person on it.
Print one card. Not ten thousand — one.
Everything after the card.
There is no building and no land. Nothing on this page is a plan I have funding for.

Began, on Sri Rama Navami. One sentence, no card.
The sentence has not changed since that day.
The namapatram card, still a draft. The first screen of the temple site, prototyped. Both are on the Things page with their real states.
Read one card of Telugu and tell me whether it is written or only translated. It unblocks printing any card, and everything after it.
