Unearthed from its pristine archaeological base rock of the Veeragallu, broken and separated away from the deep unending mass of rock it was to find the human purpose of being used. It did come naturally to us to take what is the local stone, the local stone which will never know that the world had been broken into fragments by narrow domestic walls in the last few centuries. From the wilderness, now unearthed and to become the sacrificial monolith, just like the lives lost for the country.
