Thousands of devotees gathered in Mississauga, part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), on Sunday to witness the grand unveiling of the tallest Lord Ram idol in North America. Standing at 51 feet high (not including the pedestal and future umbrella structure), this awe-inspiring statue now graces the Hindu Heritage Center, becoming one of the newest and most unique cultural landmarks in the region.
All About The New Lord Ram Statue In Canada
Inaugurated with flower petals, mantras, and heartfelt community support, the statue, located in Ontario’s Hindu Heritage Centre, was inspired by the Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya. It was built over four years, crafted in Delhi using fibreglass and a strong steel superstructure, and is designed to withstand strong Canadian winters and winds up to 200 km/hr. Acharya Surinder Sharma Shastri, founder of the Hindu Heritage Center, called the statue “a spiritual gift to the community”.

Massive statue of Hindu god being built in Brampton
Brampton, Ontario:
"In the 2021 Canadian census, people of South Asian origin were the largest ethnocultural group in Brampton - accounting for 52.4% of the population, thus making the city a minority-majority ethnoburb. Other groups included those of European (18.9%), Black (13.1%), Filipino (3.2%), Latin American (2.1%), Southeast Asian (1.4%), Chinese (1.1%), West Asian (1.1%), and Arab (1%) ancestry. The city is very ethnically diverse with approximately 60% of Brampton's residents being foreign-born."

Beats Mohammed.

The only question is how many people it takes out when it tips over. Or a couple guys get electrocuted moving it. Indians have a long standing tradition of lethal religious icon mishaps.
But I like this one better.
Modern version of the golden calf?
I don’t expect much from some dead dude and his woman.

Now you’ve done it!!

But no more than three
A couple years ago, I was stopped at a traffic light behind a truck like that ... they had built a cage in the bed, and there was a male sheep in the cage.
I thought it was funny ...
Not really. Same depravity.
Why should anyone fall to the ground in adoration of a piece of carved stone. It cannot speak or walk.
Jeremiah 2:27
27say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their backs to Me and not their faces, yet in the time of trouble they beg, ‘Rise up and save us!’
Not so hell-bent on world conquest by any means, no matter how evil.
and people bow down to these ‘gods’ as if they can do anything for them.
‘Little children, keep yourselves from idols.’
