With the benign blessings of Pujyasri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swamijis of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, the Silpa Patasala at Kanchipuram has been offering certification programmes in the divine art of idol-making and temple-building. The patasala students are trained in the theoretical and practical aspects of the above arts.

A new batch of students have joined the Shilpa Patasala recently. The students, along with their parents, received the Blessings of Pujyasri Acharya Swamijis at Srimatam, Kanchipuram.
