During the celebration of India's Constitution Day, a statue of Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was revealed at the Supreme Court. The statue, standing at seven feet tall, was crafted by the sculptor Kumawat.

 

 

The esteemed sculptor, Kumawat, is known globally for his significant works, having a wide-ranging experience across numerous countries such as the United States, England, Australia, Poland, Mauritius, Seychelles, Dubai, Oman, and Russia.

 

His impressive portfolio boasts of prominent figures like Swami Vivekananda, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Rabindranath Tagore, Indira Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela. His significant creations include the 369-foot seated Bhagwan Shiva statue in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, which is acknowledged in the Guinness Book of World Records.
