The world’s tallest Lord Murugan statue was unveiled at Puthiragoundampalayam in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu. The statue has a height of 146-ft and was opened for devotees to perform kumbabishekam.
Constructed by a trust at Puthiragoundanpalayam, the statue stands taller than the Pathumalai Murugan statue in Malaysia that has a height of 140 feet.
As the statue in Salem was consecrated, rose petals were showered on it through a helicopter. The consecration also witnessed thousands of devotees thronging to the temple premises to worship and attend the puja ceremony.
Apparently, it was the Murugan statue of Malaysia that inspired the construction of the one in Salem. The chairman of Sri Muthumalai Murugan Trust, N Sridhar wanted to build a statue the tallest Murugan statue in his hometown in Attur. Vijay26998 (talk) 06:56, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
