This video offers a glimpse into the ongoing work on the original windows of Srila Prabhupada’s private quarters at New Mayapur, including his room and sleeping area. The project aims to preserve the authentic look and sacred atmosphere of these historic spaces while ensuring long-term durability.
Current progress includes:
Woodwork completed, honoring the original design
Painting and hardware carefully restored
Hand-built oak windows crafted to match the originals
Custom made glass panels
Modern thermal seals added for better insulation, without altering the traditional aesthetic
Traditional hinges restored with durable materials
Cremone bolts installed for secure, classic locking
This is an evolving project carried out with care, respect, and a desire to keep Srila Prabhupada’s quarters true to their heritage.
