On february 5, prime minister Narendra Modi will unveil a 216-foot statue of Hindu monk and social reformer Ramanujar in Hyderabad. In the 11th century, Ramanujar, a Hindu monk, spoke out against untouchability. Ramanujar, who was born in Sriperumbudur, tamil Nadu, fought for global equality and untouchability.

The 'Statue of Equality,' as it is known, will be unveiled on february 5 by prime minister Modi.
The statue was built with donations from worshippers at a cost of roughly Rs 1,000 crore. The statue's sanctum sanctorum is built of 120 kilogrammes of gold to honour Ramanujar's 120 years on this planet. On february 13, President Ramnath Govind will open the inner chamber, which houses the sanctuary.

It's a 'panchaloha' idol made of five metals: gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc, which is installed. The Ramanujar sculpture is inspired by Ramanujar's carved stone statues in the Melkot and Srirangam temples.
