Canada, is scheduled for unveiling in April next year. Crafted by sculptor Naresh Kumawat from Rajasthan and funded by the local temple management, the statue will be formally unveiled at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton, Canada, on April 23, coinciding with the Hanuman Jayanti, the deity’s birth anniversary.
Kumawat, known for his expertise in sculpting Hindu deities, has erected over 200 statues across 80 countries. He told The Indian Express that the final touches to the statue will be given during the upcoming summer months before the statue’s unveiling next April.
Previously, Kumawat constructed Canada’s former tallest Hanuman statue, standing at 50 feet at the Voice of Vedas temple, funded by a businessman. He has also crafted a 75-foot Samudra Manthan mural as part of the Central Vista project in the new parliament building in Delhi. This mural depicts the significant episode from Hinduism’s Vishnu Puran, symbolising the churning of the sea.

I was hoping for something more aesthetically pleasing. This is just about borderline kitschy.
Rather Hindus than Mohammedans...
Kumawat may..
Don’t think that’s fitting into Obama’s pocket.
I have heard people in the North worship this god.
“...the final touches to the statue will be given
during the upcoming summer months
before the statue’s unveiling next April...”

That does not make any sense.
I’m all for different religions having their own temples and houses of worship, but huge public displays of religious iconography seem excessive. I’d bet the Canadian Left would have been up in arms if a Christian church had tried to erect a cross or a Rio-style statue of Christ this prominent.
There was a similar statue in the New Orleans area, but the weather gods toppled him.
a Jin and his lamp?
Rather neither than either.
Interesting how they are making their MONKEY god look more human. Much like the satanists who love to use a goat headed man with wings to offend Christians.
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
I like the golden mace. Video game boss or playable character?
Does his statue have a tail?
