World's largest Hanuman statue to come up at Indore by February 2020

Indore city's name is pretty much synonymous with cleanliness. The city has made a place for itself with the tag of the "Cleanest City in India". Since then, Indore has been on the fast track to becoming one of the best all round cities in India.

Now, in that light, there is a plan to install the world's largest octa-metal statue of the Indian deity Hanuman at Indore. This will add to the already vibrant city scape and will become another place that tourists can enjoy.

What's the update?

As per reports, there is a concrete plan to install a 72-foot tall Lord Hanuman's statue in Indore. This in itself is something rather ambitious and will be the tallest Hanuman statue in the world. It seems like the ultimate goal- to promote tourism- is the driving force behind this project.

The statue is not just unique for being the tallest Hanuman statue, but also the tallest octa-metal statue of the deity. The statue took about 15 years to complete, according to sources and will be inaugurated some time in February. Even before the inauguration, there will be a 21-day long series of events that commemorate this occasion.

What does it mean for Indore?

The statue has been built atop a hill called Pitra Parvat, which is essentially an area where people would plant trees to pay respects to their ancestors. This is truly a fitting location for such a monumental statue.

Surely this is a matter of pride for Indoris. The city has been on a developmental roll off late and this sort of an update just lifts our spirits. Indore city will soon be known for more than just cleanliness and it's heritage, but also for being one of the most attractive tourist hotspots of the year.

Knock Knock

The addition of this 72-foot statue will certainly turn over a new leaf for tourism in the city.
