The photo posted is very reminicent of a scene out of the "Ten Commandments". Just replace the statue with a Golden Calf. God is not pleased.
"God is not pleased."
Well, according to your faith, that's true. Hinduism has other beliefs, and building such large statues is part of those beliefs. They believe that their deities are pleased by such, so they honor them by erecting these statues.
And there it is.
