The Morning Standard
|April 18, 2025
IN a move that may evoke both support and dissent, the Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR & CE), PK Sekarbabu on Thursday announced the plan to install three statues for Lord Muruga, including an 184-foot-tall one at Marudhamalai in Coimbatore, which will be the world's biggest.
While the total cost of the project will be ₹146.83 crore, the Marudhamalai idol alone will cost ₹110 crore.
At 146 feet, Lord Muruga statue unveiled at a private temple at Ethapur in Salem district in April 2022 is currently the world's tallest, followed by the 140-ft idol at Batu Caves in Malaysia.
Sekarbabu revealed that the statue for the 'Tamil Kadavul' at Marudhamalai will be part of a hexagon-shaped complex that will include a museum, parking facilities, and other essential amenities.
