PM Modi unveils 108 ft statue of Lord Hanuman as a part of ‘Hanumanji char dham’ project

On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi unveiled a 108 ft statue of Hanuman ji in Morbi, Gujarat on Saturday via video conferencing.

This statue is the second of the 4 statues being set up in the four directions across the country, as part of ‘Hanumanji char dham’ project. It has been set up in the west, at the Ashram of Param Pujya Bapu Keshvanand ji in Morbi.

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.

Modi said that the project of establishing four such statues in the four corners of the country is a reflection of the resolve of ‘Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat’. He explained that Hanuman ji unites everyone with his service spirit and everyone gets inspiration from him.

The Prime Minister said “Our faith and the stream of our culture is of harmony, equality and inclusion”. This is best reflected in the fact that Lord Ram, despite being fully capable, harnessed everyone’s strength to complete his tasks.

Modi noted that Yatra Dham has made Kathiawar a hub of tourism. He talked about the Madhavpur Mela and Rann Utsav which provides immense benefits to Morbi.

Modi concluded by reiterating his request for enlisting the help of the devotees and Sant Samaj for the cleanliness drive and vocal for local campaign.
