Yogi to unveil statue of Lord Ram in Ayodhya

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Ayodhya on Friday to unveil a seven-foot tall statue of Lord Ram at the Shodh Sansthan museum.

The statue, made of a single block of rosewood and purchased for Rs 35 lakh from Karnataka, will be on display at the museum.

The statue will depict Kodamb Ram -- one of the five avatars of Lord Ram. Though the museum has over 2,500 artefacts related to Lord Ram and his life, it did not have any piece depicting Kodamb Ram.
