Ayodhya (UP), Nov 9 (PTI) A 25-foot-tall statue of Ravan will come up in Ayodhya as part of the Ramayana Park being developed by the Yogi Adityanath government to boost religious tourism, officials said on Sunday.

The statue is part of a tableau depicting the epic battle between Lord Ram and Ravan, they added.

The park, being constructed near Guptar Ghat, will showcase major episodes from the Ramayana through life-sized sculptures of key figures, including Lord Ram, Hanuman, Sugriv, Vibhishan, and Angad, said Ayodhya Mayor Girish Pati Tripathi. Show Full Article
