Oh wait the temple is in New Jersey, the band is from Irving Texas. I got confused

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaminarayan_Akshardham_(North_America)

The mandir was built in the Nagaradi style using 68,000 cubic feet of Italian Carrara marble. The marble obtained from quarries in Europe was shipped to Rajasthan, India where hundreds of artisans carved the stones.

@Sasanka_of_Gauda

The mandir was constructed primarily through the efforts of artisans and volunteers who provided an estimated 4.7 million human hours

Huh that must've been a major commission, can't believe there's too many artisans here either.

I doubt there's even physically enough sculptors left on Earth to replicate one of our medieval temples TBH.

The largest temple all over the world(in my state) is being funded by Ford lol.

Its how marble pieces in the market work ig. Agra had some fine pieces.

Stuff like Khajuraho or Konark just isn't made anymore. The whole school is dead. :marseydepressed: I wish handoos would sponsor some forming up again, it'd be costly but instead of spamming ugly temples everywhere it'd be great if we could start adorning the ones in actual use with sculptures like they used to be.
