About Statue of Equality (Ramanuja):
The Statue of Equality Hyderabad is a grand, 216-feet-tall, golden statue of Ramanujacharya, a Hindu saint and a social reformer. It’s the second tallest statue, in the sitting pose, in the world. The tallest one is the great Buddha statue in Thailand.
The statue is also called the Ramanuja statue. And it has been built to spread the beliefs and ideology of Ramanuja. He is sculpted, sitting with folded hands and a soft smile on his face.
The Ramanuja statue is mounted on a three-storey building acting as its base. The base has floors for a Vedic digital library, a meditation hall and an educational gallery. It also houses a museum which has ancient Indian texts and the works of Sri Ramanujacharya (or Ramanuja).
Ramanuja promoted the idea of equality in all aspects of living, be it caste, faith or gender. And this masterpiece of sculpture is built to commemorate his teachings on his 1000th birth Anniversary. A golden hue covers the entire statue.
