A small, serene village in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district, close to the bustling city of Hyderabad, is proudly home to a truly monumental marvel: the tallest standing statue of Lord Hanuman in India, and indeed, the largest Hanuman statue anywhere in the world.
Towering at an impressive 135 feet, this magnificent depiction of the revered Hindu deity was completed in 2003 and has since become a significant pilgrimage site and a major tourist attraction. Its sheer scale and spiritual aura draw a steady stream of visitors, from devout pilgrims seeking blessings to international and domestic tourists captivated by its grandeur.
The statue, a testament to faith and engineering, offers a striking visual landmark against the rural landscape, embodying strength, devotion, and unwavering commitment – qualities for which Lord Hanuman is widely revered. The site’s growing popularity underscores its importance not only as a religious monument but also as a cultural icon, contributing significantly to regional tourism.
“This Hanuman statue is a source of immense pride for our village and for Andhra Pradesh,” said a local resident. “It’s a powerful symbol of devotion and a must-visit for anyone interested in India’s rich spiritual heritage.”
The statue’s continued appeal years after its completion highlights its enduring impact and its position among India’s most significant and awe-inspiring colossal structures.
