Mumbai: Bengaluru has unveiled a monumental addition to its cultural and spiritual heritage—a 72-feet-tall statue of Lord Hanuman at the Ayodhya Kodandarama Temple in Kacharakanahalli, HBR Layout. Standing as the tallest monolith Hanuman statue in the country, this 480-tonne masterpiece is a remarkable symbol of devotion, perseverance, and community effort.
The project, a long-cherished dream of the Sri Rama Chaitanya Vardhini Trust and the residents of 18 former villages in the area, has finally reached a significant milestone. The statue’s inauguration marks the fulfilment of a vision that began decades ago, transforming an idea into an awe-inspiring reality.
The monumental project was spearheaded by the Sri Rama Chaitanya Vardhini Trust in partnership with the residents of 18 local areas, which were previously 18 distinct villages.

The statue was officially inaugurated on January 15, marking a significant milestone for the temple and the community. The Trust estimates that while the statue is already a stunning centrepiece, it will take another eight months to complete the surrounding construction and finer details.
The Kodandarama Temple, deeply rooted in history and spiritual significance, has long been a symbol of devotion for the region. The installation of this massive Hanuman statue represents the fulfilment of a dream nurtured for years by the Trust and local residents. What began as a collective vision years ago has finally come to fruition, with these once-separate villages now united as part of Bengaluru city.
