Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated a 77-feet tall bronze statue of Lord Ram in Goa, coinciding with the 550th year celebrations of the Shree Samsthan Gokarn Jeevottam Mutt.

Renowned sculptor Ram Sutar, famed for his design of the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, created the statue that's now recognized as the tallest depiction of Lord Ram globally. The event took place at one of India's oldest monastic institutions, and was attended by notable dignitaries, including Goa's Public Works Department minister Digambar Kamat.
