MADURAI, INDIA, April 9, 2008: Thousands of sculptures in the towers of the famous Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple here are being documented for posterity. Each and every sculpture in the towers has been photographed using digital cameras to ensure that the ongoing renovation works do not alter its pristine beauty or heritage. “Sculptures in nine of the 14 towers are being documented. Each sculpture on these huge towers is being photographed individually and assigned a number,” B. Raja, Joint Commissioner, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, and Executive Officer of the temple told The Hindu here on Sunday.
