In Rajasthan, in the town of Nathdwara, a huge Shiva statue named Viswas Swaroopam, which measures 369 feet high will be inaugurated today. This statue is hailed as the tallest Shiva statue in the world. It will be opened to the public in the presence of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, assembly speaker CP Joshi, and other dignitaries.
The statue has been built by the Tat Padam Sansthan and is located in an area about 45 km away from Udaipur.
In the wake of the inauguration of the statue, Madan Paliwal, a trustee of the Sansthan and Chairman of the Miraj group, announced a series of religious, spiritual, and cultural events that will take place for 9 days between October 29 and November 6, during which religion preacher Morari Bapu will also read Ram Katha.
During his remarks on the statue, Paliwal said that this wonderful statue of Lord Shiva would give a new dimension to the state’s religious tourism industry by increasing its visibility.
The statue is said to stand upon a hilltop over a vast expanse of 51 bighas in a meditation posture. This statue can be seen from a distance of 20 kilometers and is located on a hilltop over an expanse of 51 bighas.
In addition, the statue will be visible at night as it will be illuminated with special lights, said Jaiprakash Mali, the spokesperson for the program, who informed us that the statue would also be clearly visible at night.
