Standing nearly 40-ft tall, the structure is being built by sculptor Kanayi Kunhiraman as a tribute to the countless lives affected by the pesticide tragedy.

The construction began over a decade ago but faced significant delays due to a combination of challenges — including fund shortage, adverse weather conditions, and the unforeseen impact of the pandemic. Despite these setbacks, the work has now entered its final phase and is expected to be completed by June.
