Unique Bronze Sculpture
A remarkable bronze 'Om' figure, weighing an astounding 60 quintals, is set to be installed at Gol Plaza in Baba Kedarnath Dham, Uttarakhand. Crafted in Baroda, Gujarat, this exquisite sculpture will add a touch of grandeur to the sacred site.
Successful Trial Conducted
The District Disaster Management Authority, in collaboration with the Public Works Department, has successfully conducted a trial to establish the monumental 'Om' figure. The trial, carried out using a Hydra machine, was a resounding success, paving the way for the permanent installation.
