Murthy is a resident of Koppal, Karnataka. His wife died in an accident three years ago, an accident that had left the family broken, so he made a statue of his wife in the foyer so that she would not be missed upon entering the house. The Griha Pravesh ceremony was held on August 8 and the guests who attended the event were surprised and were left speechless on seeing the life-like statue of the deceased lady on entering the house.
