This media file displays a collage of nine photographs, documenting the construction of a grand temple, identified by text as the "Glorious Temple on Hare Krishna Hill," likely in Bengaluru, India. The images progressively show various stages of the temple's construction. The earliest photos capture the initial phases, with an undeveloped hillside showing nascent concrete foundations and steel rebar structures. Construction workers are visible throughout the process, engaged in tasks such as laying masonry, installing structural elements, and operating heavy machinery like an excavator and a dump truck for site preparation and material movement. Mid-construction scenes include numerous workers on extensive wooden scaffolding, working on the roof or upper tiers of the temple. Other panels provide wider views of the temple's central structure taking shape, revealing intricate stonework and multi-level designs. One photo highlights workers meticulously performing detailed finishing work or carving stone. The later stages of construction are depicted with a crane lowering a dome or finial onto the temple's roof, and a close-up showcasing the detailed design of a partially installed dome. The final construction photograph on the main display shows the exterior of the temple nearing completion, featuring distinctive gopurams and traditional architectural styles. Text accompanying the photos indicates "Deity installation ceremonies March 1997," suggesting the temple was consecrated or completed around this time. The captions are provided in English, Kannada ("ಹರೇ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಗಿರಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಭವ್ಯ ದೇಗುಲದ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ" - Building of the magnificent temple on Hare Krishna Hill), and Hindi ("हरे कृष्ण गिरि के ऊपर भव्य मंदिर का निर्माण" - Building of the grand temple on Hare Krishna Hill). A partial image on the right shows a deity, likely related to the installation. The collage offers a comprehensive visual history of the temple's development from ground-breaking to near completion.
