Day one of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math branch centre construction
Digging holes and rebar forming
Each hole took two days with two men digging. Ishani Devi Dasi overseeing the work
The holes were approximately 9 feet deep
Laying gravel followed by the rebar base
16 mm rebar form carried by 5 men and put into the hole
Taking out the old concrete and digging out holes is very hard work
Mixing together sand, cement, and gravel. One post is done
Second and third posts in progress
Centre hole is almost dug.
Ishani Devi Dasi tries her hand at rebar formation
This is enough mix for one pillar's hole
Another hole ready for rebar post
Rebar shuttering for tying together pillars
Ishani Devi Dasi is checking the work. The first week almost completed
Sri
Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Nabadwip
