The 216-foot tall Statue of Equality, which honours the 11th-century Hindu saint Ramanujacharya, was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.
The Statue of Equality honours Ramanujacharya, who advocated for equality in all aspects of life, including faith, caste, and creed.
Today, Ramanujacharya Ji is delivering us a message of equality in the form of a huge Statue of Equality, Prime Minister had said.
The statue is made of panchaloha, a five-metal alloy made up of gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc, and is one of the world’s tallest metallic statues in the sitting position.
The statue is mounted on a 54-foot-high base building known as Bhadra Vedi, which has floors dedicated to a Vedic digital library and research centre, ancient Indian manuscripts, a theatre, and an educational exhibition featuring several works by Sri Ramanujacharya.
Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami of Sri Ramanujacharya Ashram had conceptualised the statue, which is among the world’s highest.
The inauguration of the Equality Statue is part of the 12-day Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi Samaroham, Sri Ramanujacharya’s 1000th birth anniversary celebrations.
