Towering as a beacon of spiritual devotion, this monumental structure reflects the rich heritage of the region. With the capacity to hold an astounding 1.6 billion prayers, including 16 Dungyurs (each containing 10 crore prayers), it embodies collective aspirations for peace, harmony, and enlightenment.

It serves as a sanctuary for meditation and reflection, fostering spiritual unity and cultural pride. The meticulous craftsmanship and profound spiritual significance of this installation highlight a steadfast commitment to preserving and celebrating our timeless heritage in an evolving modern world.
