In a powerful tribute to the spirit of devotion, equality, and unity, a 51-foot statue of Lord Ram embracing Nishadraj was unveiled in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The monumental sculpture celebrates a pivotal moment from the Ramayana, where Lord Ram warmly hugs Nishadraj — a gesture symbolizing social harmony and the inclusive values of Sanatan Dharma.
The statue, situated along the banks of the sacred Sangam, has been hailed as a spiritual and cultural landmark, drawing pilgrims, tourists, and devotees from across India. Crafted with intricate detail, the statue not only highlights the divine bond of friendship between Lord Ram and the tribal king Nishadraj but also serves as a reminder of Ram’s compassion, humility, and respect for all beings, irrespective of caste or status.
The unveiling ceremony was marked with Vedic chants, cultural performances, and the chants of “Jai Shree Ram” echoing across the holy city, reinforcing the message of unity in diversity at the heart of Indian tradition.
