Tallest Shiva Statue Inaugurated in Sanga (13 photos)
Honorable Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation Mr.Sarat Singh Bhandari inaugurated the 143-foot tall statue of Lord Shiva at Chittapol VDC-5, Bhaktapur, amid a function on June21,2010.
The colossal statue of Lord Shiva is said to be the biggest in South Asia. The statue was constructed on the initiative of Mr.Kamal Jain. Mr .Jain has also contributed to construct a park in the area. The park that spreads over 75 ropanis has a 32-bed Ayurvedic hospital, a spa and meditation centers.
“The construction of such a huge statue of Lord Shiva in our country will be helpful for the development of both the religious and tourism sectors in Nepal,” said Honorable Minister Mr.Bhandari.
The park and the statue were constructed at the cost of around Rs.120 million, according to Mr.jain. One has to pay NRs. 20 to enter the park and temple.

i think Mr.kamal Jain, being an indian and investing his money in nepal , that too in a non profitable social purpose, is really great. he is a man we , the citizens of nepal should look up to and be proud of. it is not like he is one of the richest man , there are richer but they have not left our country with something which would stay , like mr.jain has. this statue has encouraged a huge tourism into nepal also.As lord shiva has one of the maximum number of believers and this will promote the tourism sector in nepal. as we can see the small town , sanga which did not have an single shop earlier now has more than 25 stores selling food,soft drinks and other snacks. this clearly shows the economic development in that area , reducing poverty of that town.
thanks to Mr.jain
