The Angel atop the Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata was enlivened in 1985 and in 2006 under the guidance of the author using indigeneous technology. This time, the revitalization work took so long a period due to the Hi-Tech sabotoge inflicted on to the system and the necessity of opening of two stone pieces from the dome below the 'Kalash' - a job which was inordinately delayed by the Archaelogical Survey of India.

Abstract


The Angel atop the Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata was enlivened in 1985 and in 2006 under the guidance of the author using indigeneous technology. This time, the revitalization work took so long a period due to the Hi-Tech sabotoge inflicted on to the system and the necessity of opening of two stone pieces from the dome below the 'Kalash' - a job which was inordinately delayed by the Archaelogical Survey of India.
