The martyrs memorial designed on 85,000 sq ft of land is a massive egg-shaped mirror-finished structure on the Hussainsagar Lake’s banks in Hyderabad. The structure will also have a diya, a giant reddish-yellow flame, on top of it. The diya will have a museum, library, hall and a restaurant.
The memorial is set up to highlight the struggle of martyrs to form Telangana.
The artist who designed the 'diya with light' was Ramana Reddy, as per a report on The Hindu. Ramana who lived in Europe for 14 years wanted to design it to match international standards.
Ramana Reddy initially showed four designs to CM K Chandrashekar Rao and the CM reportedly chose the earthen lamp.
Apart from Ramana, a team of 25 experts worked on the project. They have also ensured safety measures.
“A water fountain on top will add beauty to this sculpture. I feel proud and honoured to do my bit and contribute to this lifetime project,” Ramana told The Hindu.
