:03:28. > :03:32.decoration with an eco-friendly design. Lot of hard work this Hindu

:04:07. > :04:09.to create a temple that looked traditional and was ornate but also

:04:10. > :04:13.one which was sustainable and would last them into the future. So many

:04:14. > :04:24.of these pillars, rather than cast from stone or marble, are actually

:04:25. > :04:28.made from concrete. This really emphasises on not wasting energy, on
