PM to Inaugurate Asia’s Tallest Lord Ram Statue in Goa

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Canacona, Goa , where he will unveil a 77-feet bronze idol of Lord Ram , officially recognised as the tallest statue of Ram in Asia.

The event will also feature the launch of a commemorative coin and postal stamp , commemorating the milestone.

Cultural Importance and Heritage Legacy

The Partagali Mutt, with centuries of spiritual stewardship, has been a centre of cultural learning and social reform for the Saraswat community and Hindu worshippers across regions . The statue, sculpted by acclaimed artist Ram Sutar , is expected to become a landmark for devotees and tourists, reinforcing the mutt’s identity as a pilgrimage destination rooted in Indian tradition.
