Colossal statue of Indian guru Yogiraj being completed in Pietrasanta

The creation of a Carrara marble statue of Indian guru Yogiraj Sarkar Godariwale, revered by many followers around the world, including Italy, is nearing its final stages. The sculpture is being worked on in Pietrasanta by Studio Stagetti (winner of an international contest ) and, when completed, will be placed in the Indian holy man’s temple, which is located a few kilometers away from the Taj Mahal and is also currently under construction in the city of Hathras in India. The work is titled Pramashvar (“The Infinite,” one of Yogiraj’s attributes). “The architecture of the shrine,” the community of followers makes known, “has been designed with sustainability, positivity, and artistry in mind with emphasis on the use of natural solar energy. Construction of the shrine will be completed in 2020 and will be a permanent home of the divine and a haven for his followers around the world.”

The sculpture, the execution of which is being overseen by sculptor Nicola Stagetti under the coordination of the head of the Italian community of Yogiraj Sarkar Godariwale’s followers, Robin Sethi, is planned to be built in Pietrasanta in 2019 and will emerge from a single block of Carrara marble. It will have a height of 3.3 meters.

Yogiraj Sarkar Godariwale, born in 1874 in Nowshera, was a yogi who lived between the 19th and 20th centuries, and his followers revere him as an “advocate of universal peace and harmony,” who “believed in the equality of all religions and advocated the path of altruism to the masses. He renounced ephemeral pleasures and became an ascetic to light the flames of spiritual lights in the lives around him.”

Pictured is the clay model of the colossal statue that will be completed in the coming weeks.
