MAHENDRANAGAR (Dhanusha), Dec 16: A colossus of Sita-Ram has been prepared with cereals on the eve of bibaha panchami at Rangabhumi ground. The giant statue covers an 11,000 square fit area.


The Bibaha Panchami organizing team has invited several people after the colossus is prepared at Rangambhumi ground.


Mayor at Janakpurdham sub-metropolis, Manoj Kumar Sah, informed that the cereals used in the giant statue of Sita-Ram would be utilized later.


He said as much as 102 quintals of food grains is used to create the statue, which has also raised concern. "Janakpurdham, a holy place, is a home to Goddess Sita. Various organizations and philanthropic peoples extended support for the creation of the colossus. Now, we are mulling how the food grains used in it could be utilized," Saha shared.

The image would be on display for a week and has been provided security by the municipal police and the Nepal Police.


According to him, the fund was generated by opening a joint bank account for making the gigantic statue.


Mayor Sah extended special thanks to artisans Shatish Gujjar and Gungun Mishra who crafted the holy image.


Local traders and businesspersons have played a significant role in materializing the creation of the Sita-Ram statue.
