The project is a statement in which the slowly vanishing artisanry and craftsmanship of the region will be revived and celebrated. It is constructed out of two materials, Cor-Ten steel and local granite refer to the reddish iron ore-rich landscape and the victorious past of the City of Vijayanagar.
