Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil a 108-feet statue of Lord Hanuman at Morbi in Gujarat on Saturday via video conferencing.
As per the Prime Minister's Office, the statue is the second of the four statues being built in the four directions across the country, as part of the 'Hanumanji Char Dham' project.
The statue to be unveiled on Wednesday has been set up in the west, at the Ashram of Bapu Keshvanand ji in Morbi, the PMO said in a statement.
The construction of the massive idol started in 2018 and cost Rs 10 crore. While Modi will take part in the event virtually, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and other leaders will remain present at the venue.
The first statue of the series was set up in the north in Shimla in 2010. Work on the statue in the south at Rameswaram has been started, the PMO said.
