Hanur: Decks are clear to build a 100-ft statue of Male Mahadeshwara Swamy on a 43-acre plot atop Male Mahadeshwara Hills (M.M. Hills), about 110 km from Mysuru. The land hurdle for the project has been cleared and the construction will begin soon.
Sri Male Mahadeshwara Swamy Development Authority (MMDA) had planned to install the statue as a tourist attraction at the hilltop. A decision in this regard was taken in 2016 and the plot for installing the concrete statue had been identified at Deepadagiri Oddu, about 500 metres from the Temple complex.
