Based on instructions on Mahavatar Babaji and Guruji Naushir, Mahavatar Babaji Tadekam Foundation (https://tadekam.com/) began its social service/ sewa in Kuppam from Kangundi on 15 August 2025 by constructing Kuppam’s first permanent selfie stand- ‘I Love Kangundi’.
Team of sadaks/ sevaks of Tadekam collaborated with people of Kangundi to construct the ‘I Love Kangundi’ selfie stand. It has been constructed at the western entrance to the village (road from Kuppam). Shri PS Muniratnam Garu (https://www.facebook.com/share/1HUKPswdVg/), Sarpanch Dhanasekhar, Shri Munaf and others helped Tadekam choose the excellent location. The volleyball team of Kuppam, electrician Venkatesh and welder Manjunath helped weld the iron rods into alphabets. Vicky (https://www.instagram.com/kuppam_diaries/ and https://www.instagram.com/darkspace111/ and Manjunath (https://www.instagram.com/mr_manju_nath_gt650/) travelled to Bengaluru on 14 August 2025 to buy the LED lights and other electrical equipment required for the selfie stand.
The team began work on the selfie stand at 11 am on 14 August 2025 and finished work at 4 am on 15 August 2025. The selfie stand was lit up at 9 pm on 15 August 2025 bringing cheer and hope to the people of Kangundi.

With this #ILoveKangundi selfie point, Tadekam wants to bring new hope into the lives of the people of #Kangundi so that they begin looking at their own village with love and pride. This Tadekam hopes will help in the #CleanKangundi/ #SwachhKangundi Campaign so that the bigger #AaoKangundi Campaign using #bouldering and #rockclimbing succeed.
