New Garden at Udvada

The Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy trust has a plot of ½ acre land in Udwada opposite their sanatorium.
They have decided to make this into a Recreational Garden,& gift it to the people to use.
At a focal point in the garden they have invited sculptor Arzan Khambatta to design a sculpture for the garden.
Keeping in mind the Parsi theme, Arzan Khambatta designed a sculpture titled Divine Radiance, of the holy fire in an Afarghanya, but, with a slight twist.
The afarghanya can be seen by the 3 carved sandstone verticals that hold the blazing steel flames on just 3 balance points.
The bright sun in the morning and the lighting at night make the steel flames appear alive.

    Kudos to the Trustees of ‘Sir Jamshedji Jejeeboy Trust, to having put the funds towards this project.
    Also, Kudos to our Zarthusthi mr.Arzan Khambatta’s vision to highlight the message of Divine
    Wisdom given to all mankind, and for those to seek it.

    Quoting from the Holy Bible, book Matthew 5: verses 15, 16 states as below:
    “People light a lamp and set it not under the measuring basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines upon all those in the house.
    16: Likewise, let YOUR light shine before men, that they may see YOUR fine works and give glory to YOUR Father who is in the heavens.”
    Agape love -Tandarosti’s to all mankind – reflection.
