If seeing is believing, then Giriraja is really big. But in reality, this is trick photography. This Govardhan Sila actually fits within the palm of my hand. I am presently working on another picture along the same line.
Here you see me decorating Giriraja's face. You get a true idea of how small He is from this picture. Every day the Lord's tilaka and other decorations are washed off during the morning bathing, and reapplied. The tilaka is applied with three small, silver "tooth picks" and comes in three colors, plain (yellow), red and blue.
This is another trick picture put together with Photoshop. The background is a beech on the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific. I visited there recently.
