New TOVP Flagpole Installed

The assembly and installation of the new TOVP flagpole was finally completed! It is made of high strength combined stainless steel pipe and is 9m (30 ft) high. A TOVP flag is fixed on it and an aviation light and lightning arrestor are placed at the highest point.

Assembly and installation of this structure at a height of more than 100m (330ft) on the main dome Chakra was not an easy task. But, thanks to the efforts of TOVP devotees and professional specialists from Kolkata, the task was completed.

After installing the light sensor, at nightfall a red signal light will automatically turn on over the main Chakra, and during the rainy season, the TOVP building will be protected from lightning strikes by the lightning arrestor. It is located 5m (17ft) above the Chakra, so the height of the TOVP has increased by another 5m (17ft) and is now about 118m (390ft).
