In Hindu tradition, the Supreme Truth, or the Brahman, is beyond imagination. Modern day devotees present Hinduism in size and height to the world in a visual form. It is only logical that modern day Hindu symbols tend to be bigger, taller, and greater than older symbols.
Like in every other religion and movement, Hindu is trying to show its power and authority with constructing large buildings.
The Lord Murugan Statute located in Malaysia is the tallest depiction of a Hindu deity in the world.
Construction of the Statue
The construction of the statue required the skilled work of 15 sculptors form India. They carried out the construction for three years. The Lord Murugan statute was unveiled in January 2006 during the Thaipusam festival.
