Buddha Statue of Hyderabad
The Buddha Statue of Hyderabad is a monolith located in India. It is the world's tallest monolith of Gautama Buddha.
==History==
Hyderabad is the capital of the state of Telangana. Between 1983 and 1989, N. T. Rama Rao served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. During his tenure, he spent large sums to erect several statues of people from the region's political and religious history. During his visit to New York, he saw the Statue of Liberty and was inspired by the efforts to restore it. He said "I wanted something like that ... That would have been my contribution to society."
Rama Rao chose to depict Gautama Buddha because "he was a humanitarian who told the whole truth to the people. It is our pride."〔 After a long search, he found a solid white granite rock near Raigiri (Nalgonda District) on a mountainside 40 miles outside Hyderabad. In October 1985 NTR inaugurated work on structure. For over a year, hundreds of labourers helped the temple architect and builder S.M.Ganapathi Sthapati create the statue. After five years and the expenditure of US$3 million,〔 the statue stood at and weighed 350 tons, making it the world's tallest monolithic statue of the Buddha. A concrete platform measuring , now referred to as the "Rock of Gibraltar," was constructed in the middle of Hussain Sagar to aid in erecting the statue. The roads of the city were also widened for this purpose.〔
This statue is located at Lumbini Park in the Hussain Sagar Island can be reached by boat in 15 minutes.〔Goldberg, Kory., Décary, Michelle.(2012), "The South: Hydrabad" , Along the Path: The Meditator's Companion to the Buddha's Land, Pariyatti Publisher, p.372. ISBN 1938754034 , 9781938754036〕
