Tallest Statue For Lord Sri Rama Coming Up At Mantralayam In Kurnool District
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday laid the foundation stone in the virtual mode for what is claimed to be the country’s tallest statue for Sri Rama, coming up at Mantralayam in Kurnool district.
The 108-foot-tall statue made of ‘panchaloha’ will be installed by Jai Shri Ram Foundation at a cost of ₹300 crore. The Sri Raghavendra Swamy Mutt donated the 10-acre plot for the construction of the statue, coming up along with a Ram Mandir.
Sculptor Ram Vanji Sutar, who designed the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue at Kevadia in Gujarat, is doing this project.
