Pictures of the inauguration ceremony of "Krishna-Kalpa" the library and community center built in the town of Honavar to remember K.L.Kamat. Many are pictures of volunteers preparing for the event. It was wonderful to see people volunteering to decorate, arrange books, and helping with the events.

"Krishna-Kalpa" was dedicated to the public by the pontiff of Pejawar muth, Sri Vishvesha Theertha Swamiji. He lauded the efforts of  Dr. Jyotsna Kamat, and noted that the highest Hindu prayer, the Gayatri Mantra, is a prayer of knowledge (dhiyoyona prachodayat). He hoped that the Kamat Center will grow to become a beacon of knowledge and inspiration for the local people.
