The
new statue,
designed in the form of a forest dweller, will replace the existing statue. Its construction has been completed at the Gwalior Sandstone Art and Craft Center under the supervision of President's Award-winning sculptor Shri Deepak Vishwakarma. The statue's distinctive feature is the engraving of 108 Rudraksha beads, making it unique.
Positive step of Chhattisgarh Government
Director of Tourism and Culture Department Mr. Vivek Acharya said that the previous statue was installed by TCIL organization, which was not of the required quality. The government immediately demanded a replacement and entrusted the work to a famous artist of Gwalior. This decision is important in enhancing the dignity of Mata Kaushalya Dham and promoting religious tourism.
Installation will give new identity to the Dham
. With the installation of the statue, Kaushalya Mata Dham will become a major center of religious tourism, where devotees from all over the country will come for darshan. Lakhs of devotees will flock for darshan, which will give new heights to the religious and cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh. This shows the commitment of the state government towards the development of religious places.
