Summary:

"A film on the ancient, sacred tradition of South Indian temple architecture being practiced on Kauai in Hawaii. The film delves into the sacred geometry of Vaastu science described in the centuries-old Sthāpatya Vedas. These fundamental principles govern the design and construction of incredible and powerful South Indian temples, many of which are over a thousand years old. The same exacting principles of the Sthāpatya Vedas are being applied in the design and construction of Iraivan - an all-granite, Shiva temple being erected on the spiritually powerful grounds of Kauai's Hindu Monastery. Designed by the worlds leading authority on Vaastu Vedic science, Dr. Ganapati Sthapati, the Iraivan temple will likely stand testament to the changes around it well into the next millennium"--Producer.
