Updates: World's Tallest Nataraja Statue Installed Ahead of G20 Summit

India is gearing up to host the 18th G20 Leaders' Summit, a global event that has drawn attention from around the world. The summit is scheduled to take place in New Delhi on September 9-10, and preparations are in full swing. In a remarkable feat, just days before the G20 Summit, the world's tallest Nataraja statue found its new home at Bharat Mandapam. Standing at an impressive 28 feet tall and weighing a staggering 20 tons, this magnificent statue was crafted in a record-breaking seven months. It is a true work of art, created using the traditional casting method and crafted from Ashtadhatu, a combination of eight metals. Renowned sculptor Radhakrishnan Sthapathy and his team, hailing from Swamimalai in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur, are the talented artists behind this masterpiece. The statue's journey from its place of creation to Delhi was completed in just four days, with a special green corridor created to ensure its safe transportation. The 18th G20 Summit in New Delhi will serve as the culmination of a year filled with various G20 processes and meetings. The world's leaders will gather to discuss critical global issues, and a G20 Leaders' declaration is expected to be adopted at the conclusion of the summit.
