Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P.K. Sekar Babu announced on Monday that a 160-foot-tall stone statue of Lord Murugan will be installed at Marudhamalai. A team of experts will soon assess the site to facilitate the project. Once completed, this monumental structure will stand as the tallest Murugan statue in Asia.

Sekar Babu stated that a team of senior officials, including the HR and CE Department Secretary, the Coimbatore Collector, the Joint Commissioner, and the trustees of the Marudhamalai Temple, conducted an inspection of the proposed site for the statue. He mentioned that consultants have been engaged to assess the feasibility of the statue project.

“Once the consultants submit their report, we will present it to the Chief Minister. Upon receiving his approval, we will proceed with the construction,” Sekar Babu stated.

Reaffirming the state government’s dedication to enhancing temples, he stated that seven Lord Murugan temples are undergoing major renovations at a total cost of ₹862 crore. After inspecting the Marudhamalai temple, the Minister addressed reporters, emphasizing the State government’s commitment to temple development, particularly Murugan temples.

Since taking office, the government has overseen consecration ceremonies in more than 2,400 temples, many of which are dedicated to Lord Murugan. Notably, the consecration ceremony at the Palani Murugan Temple was conducted in Tamil.

The announcement of the 160-foot-tall Lord Murugan statue at Marudhamalai reflects the Tamil Nadu government’s strong commitment to preserving and enhancing temple heritage. With extensive renovations underway in several Murugan temples and a continued focus on religious and cultural development, the state is reinforcing its dedication to safeguarding traditions while embracing monumental projects. As the statue project moves forward, it is set to become a significant spiritual and architectural landmark, further enriching Tamil Nadu’s rich cultural landscape.
