The tallest sculpture of Braj shall be installed in the foothills of Goverdhan on May 7

  A larger than life size statue of Lord Sankarshan,popularly known as Lord Balarm- “ Dau ji j”-will be installed in Village Anyore , Goverdhan Hills area in Mathura district on Sunday, May 7.

The statue has been carved out by a group of 22 sculptors who chiseled a monolithic black granite stone for over a year in the foothills of Tirupati-Tirumala hills. 

 Round the year, thousands of Krishna devotees go to Goverdhan for undertaking the 7 Kos- parikrama (religious rounds on the entire circumference), but the Sunday spectacle will be unique in more ways than one .The installation ceremony  has been organised on a mass scale.
Mr. Vineet Narain, Chairman,The Braj Foundation (www.brajfoundation.org) gave this information today.Inforamtively, Mr Narain ,who had exposed the infamous Jain-Hawala case some 25 years back has engrossed himself for the last 15 years  in  the mammoth task of restoring & recreating the mind-boggling heritage of Braj Bhoomi. 

His team has got several sites of heritage importance recreated across the region, of which the most noted ones are Brahma Kund & Sewa Kunj at Vrindavan; Koile Ghat opposite Mathura Refinery;  Rudra Kund, Rinmochan Kund and Sankarshan Kund at Goverdhan; Gahvarvan and Vrishbhanu Kund at Barsana etc.

 These sites have now become the new epicenter of tourist cum pilgrim activities of the region to which the Prime Minister has himself noted his adulation by saying, “The Braj Foundation is doing a commendable job of restoring the ancient sites of religious & cultural importance”. 

The statue will be established on a 12 feet high podium at Sankarshan Kund, Anyore, Goverdhan, which is being restored with the  financial contribution of Dr. Rameshwar Rao of Hyderabad and Jamunalal Bajaj Foundation, Mumbai.

According to Mr Narain,”This shall make it the tallest 36 feet mural installed in open-air which shall be worshipped in the traditional lineage of Ramanujacharya Sampradaya. What better tribute to the legendary Acharya whose millennial anniversary is being commemorated this year across the globe. This mural of Lord Sankarshan is a gift to Braj Bhoomi by Sri Srimanna Narayan Chinna Jeeyar Swami ji, one of the most venerated saints of South India”

 The Lord’s statue is coming from all the way from Tirumala Hills to Giri Goverdhan covering a distance of over 2000 kilometers in 8 days .

The statue shall reach Goverdhan site on Sunday morning  after crossing Hyderabad, Adilabad, Nagpur, Bhopal, Guna, Shivpuri, Gwalior, Agra and Mathura. A grand ceremonial welcome of Lord Sankarshan will ld be held on the occasion.
