Excellent! A welcoming decision. IMO this is the 2nd statue after Tirupathi.

This is the 3rd. The second statue is at Tumkur University in Karnataka.

Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra (Mumbai) now. When is Tamilnadu, her home for her entire life, going to build her statue?

No place perhaps in Chennai the city of statues!!

I am sure they can find a special spot somewhere in Chennai other than the marina!

In Chennai, we should have a memorial where people can go and have peace reading her beautiful life in pictures, anecdotes, etc., listening to her music and the tributes paid to her, the causes she supported, etc. I am sure a lot of people will be willing to contribute. Hope someone will take it up and organise.
