Thiru Ther Shed

Help build a permanent shed to house and protect the sacred temple chariot (Thiru Ther) of Sri Vittalrukmini Samsthan, Govindapuram. The Ther is the heart of the temple's festival processions; a dedicated, weatherproof shed will shelter it from sun and rain year-round and preserve it for generations of devotees.

Why it is needed

Between festivals the temple chariot stands exposed to the elements. A purpose-built, fully enclosed steel shed will protect this irreplaceable devotional asset from sun, rain, and wind, and greatly extend its life.

What your donation builds

A heavy-duty, fully enclosed steel shed engineered to the following specification:

• Shed size: 25 ft × 40 ft — centre height 25 ft, side height 20 ft
• A-type taper roof (5 ft slope) with all four sides closed in GI sheet
• Heavy-duty MS steel structure with anti-rust primer and enamel paint
• GI roofing sheets (0.5 mm) and GI wall sheets (0.4 mm)
• Polycarbonate roof strip for natural lighting
• Lockable sliding shutter door (12 ft wide)
• Rainwater gutter system and cement flooring throughout

The goal

The estimated cost of the shed is approximately ₹9.5 lakhs. Contributions are collected in USD, and every gift — of any size — brings this protective shelter closer to completion.
