Pratima/Arca Murugan
The 17-meter (55-foot) statue of Lord Murugan located in Padang Cermin Village, Kecamatan Selesai, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, has been recognized by the Indonesian World Records Museum (MURI) as the tallest statue in Indonesia. The award was given on July 28, 2019. The construction of this magnificent statue involved 11 architects and carvers who were brought directly from Tamil Nadu, India, to ensure every detail reflected the beauty and majesty of the distinctive architectural art. The pratima stands right next to the Shri Raja Rajeshwari Amman Temple. The temple and pratima and the vast and beautiful complex have been slated to become one of the important religious tourism destinations in North Sumatra.
