His tory of the P afrco Tattqta in Sri Mayapura trnstalling a worshipable deity of arca vigraha begins from the conception of the sponsor of the deity, in this case His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svxmi Prabhupida. He had visualized life.size metal deities of the Pafrca Tattva for installing in the large temple at Mayapura, entitled the Temple of Vedic Planetarium. These Deities had already been visualized by His Divine Grace over thirty years ago. The Sri Mayapura development committee decided a number of years ago that we should move forward and install the Pafrca Tattva Deities, just as we had installed Radha Madhava and the eight gopis, even hefore the Vedic Planetarium was completed. There. fore, an extension temple was made for holding the Pafrca Tattva and models were made after researching the scriptures on the exact dimensions, proportions and qualities of each member of the Pafrca Tattva.
