Other sculptures will include representations of Yamuna, Saraswati, Sapt Matrika, Vinadhar Shiva, Ganapati dancing, Vishnu, Uma-Maheshwar, Kartikeya, Tara, Padmapani, Indra and Shachi, Neminath, Gajalakshmi, Garunasin Vishnu, Ravananugraha, Shiva, Bhikshatana Shiva, Vishnu, Shiva-Parvati, Ganga, Harihar, Balram and Krishna, Agni, Surya, Mankunwar Buddha, and replicas of special coins issued for the Mahakumbh.
The creation and installation of these sculptures will occur in two phases. The first phase aims to complete all 60 sculptures by January 5, with 30 installed at the Mela site and the other 30 delivered to the UP Museum Directorate by January 10, ahead of the fair’s start. These sculptures, crafted from fiber and silicone modeling, will be both lifelike and resilient.
