Statue of Equality
సమతామూర్తి
A 66-metre seated statue commemorating the Hindu philosopher Ramanuja, the second-tallest seated statue in the world, surrounded by 108 small temples.
The Statue of Equality stands in Muchintal, about 30 km southwest of the city centre. Completed in 2022, it commemorates Ramanuja, the 11th-century Vaishnava philosopher who preached the equality of all beings. The seated figure is cast from five metals, including gold, silver and copper, and stands about 66 metres tall with its base. Inside the base are an exhibition hall and a 3D film, and below is a small golden statue. The surrounding cloisters hold 108 miniature temples modelled on famous shrines. Tickets start at about 200 rupees. The park is closed on Wednesdays and opens roughly 11:00–20:00, with a musical fountain show in the evening.
