A 50 feet image of the Hindu deity, Shri Hanuman, devotee to Lord Rama and leader of the army of monkeys has been recently unveiled on the Essequibo Island of Leguan.
Hanuman played an instrumental part in the Ramayan, and is worshiped for his deeds toward Lord Rama, who is celebrated especially around a time like this, Diwali.
The statue is the first of its kind at such a towering height and is located in the compound of the Rama Krishna Mandir in Blenheim, Leguan.
Initially, it was supposed to have been finished in August but minor setback prompted its completion only recently. Be that as it may, this is yet another landmark worth seeing in Guyana.
The statue was voluntarily built by sculptor, Jainarine Prahalla owner of JP Sculpting with voluntary donations from the general public.
