Dear Palani,

Please feel free to do so. I will be beaming a very
unique and dynamic statue of Garuda and Vishnu from the
period of the Javanese Emperor KertaNagara.
It will be put up in the same area as the Indonesian
Ganesa 20000 Rupiah currency.
Will inform as soon as it is put up.

Regards

Jayabarathi
