“Instead of constructing one very tall statue of Sri Ram, you should halve the height and make twin statues of Sri Ram and Sita ji. After all these centuries, let Ayodhya at last do justice to the memory of this great and noble lady,” Karan Singh wrote in his letter to CM Adityanath.
The actual height of the Ram statue will be 151 metres, its overhead umbrella would be 20 metres and the pedestal would be 50 metres. It is reported that Ram statue will be built on 100 acres of land. The Sarayu riverfront will also be developed as a part of this grand project.
