Lotus temple in Delhi is supposed to be an architectural wonder. It is an imitation of a similar structure in Sydney and is a total failure. It is a church. If a slight noise is made, the echo reverberates in the hall for some time. We can understand nothing of what is spoken from the pulpit.
In India, we do not enter our house with shoes So we leave them at the door where there is no place to keep them.
In Hindu temples, there are ceremonies for pleasing fire god and Ganeshji; but no outlet is made for smoke to escape.
Here, our habit is to dry cloths in the sun or in the rear veranda, for which no provision is made in the flats.
In contrast, we had the best traditions in this field. The Taj Mahal was built by artisans, without steel and cement. This wonder is still in tact. In the neighbouring Fort Palace, the sound of produced when a sword drawn from the scabbard, can be heard at a distance of two hundred yards in Diwani- am. My friend could not believe it. I sent him to the end of the open ground in front of this place, where the Emperor meets his subjects. I just snapped my fingers, standing where His Majesty sits. My friend was greatly surprised.
Thus there was no necessity for microphones.
I have not heard of echo problem in any Hindu temple.
Once,when we were students, we went to see a cinema at Ollur. Suraiya and Saigal were acting and singing. We could not hear anything because of echo.
Our engineers are simply copying the drawings, without ever thinking !
Peruntachan is mentioned in the legends of Keralam. The father-son duo were the greatest men in wood work.
