Immediately the work was started with His Holiness contributing Rs. 50,000 from Andavan Ashramam. He desired all devotees to participate in the project. Several Sishyas volunteered for this with their contribution. TheBadraSimhasanam was made at a cost of Rs. 3.25 lakhs using about 30 Kgs of Silver. This was dedicated to Sri Thoopul Desikan on the 9th Day of Purattasi Sravana Avathara Uthsavam. The Simhasanam was taken in a procession from Srimath Andavan Ashramam. Atfirst this was taken to Sri Vilakkoli Perumal Sannathi, there Perumal was seated in the Simhasanam first along with Ubaya Nachimars and Sri Margathavalli Thayar. The same night it was dedicated to Swami Desikan. Thirumanjanam was done. On the Purattasi Sravanam day also Swami Desikan placed in the Simhasanam participated in the Mangalasasanam Thirukkolamof Sri Deva Perumal. The same night the Bathrasimhasanam was taken inside garbagriham and Swami Desikan was seated on that for Nithya Aaradhanam and Thirumanjanam. Large number of devotees had a thrilling experience on this AvathaaraUthsavam. Srimath Andavan, presently camping in New Delhi, is very much pleased on hearing the successful completion of the project. It may be recalled that about 60 years back Sri Akkoor Andavan Swamigal has submitted to Sri Deva Perumal Saaligrama Maalai, Diamond Thirumankaappu, Swarna Thirumanjan Vedi. This was followed 30 years later by Srimath Thirukkudanthai Andavan Swamigal who dedicted a chariot for Thoopul Sri Swami Desikan.
