Granite is the chosen material because most of the sculptures are designed for outdoor public spaces, and softer stones would be damaged by long-term exposure to the elements
This is one innovation that does not have a precedent to the best of our knowledge, and our experiments in Pitchandikulam have proven to be worthwhile, and the results found to be very satisfactory
