I got the idea of making a giant lock for the temple since it would be a unique thing”. Currently, the locksmith is all dwelled in making minor additions and providing finishing touch to his “creation”. “I’m looking for someone who could contribute towards the purchase of steel and brass,” he said. However, he has kept the lock outside his house .
