Explained: BLR Airport's Statue Of Prosperity & Its Significance

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the ‘Statue of Prosperity’ - a 108 feet bronze statue of Bengaluru city’s founder Nadaprabhu Kempegowda. Built at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore, the second terminal will double the capacity of the airport.
Why is the statue so important? Apart from the political significance it may have, it is an architectural marvel. The statue is made from 98 tonnes of bronze and 120 tonnes of steel.
Kempegowda’s sword alone weighs four tons and the statue has been conceptualised and sculpted by Padma Bhushan Ram V Sutar who also worked on the Statue of Unity.
