Where is this Lord Shiva's statute?

[realdemigod]

Dear all,
Does anyone know where is this statue of Lord Shiva from (in the pic)?

namaste,
Yes, it is in Rishikesh, India. I have some pictures of it when I last visited a couple of years ago. When they do arti in the evening the whole place lights up and the statue looks even more beautiful with all the lights at night.

Vannakkam: This is my favorite one.

12 tons or so I think of solid granite from one piece.

Namaste,

I'm definitely putting Rishikesh on my list of places for whenever I manage to visit India. I can't even imagine how it would look in the evening with lights!

Jai Sri Krishna

If śiva is of great interest to you, consider some research on the 12 jyotirliṅga
you can visit in India.

Probably it is submerged in ganga waters this year .

This is the beautiful Parmarth Niketan, it is in Rishikesh.

I had a vision about this statue for years and finally had to find the location myself, so I am glad to have the answer.

If you go to Youtube, you can see the videos of Parmarth, Someone already mention their evening gatherings so I will just post the link to their main website-

No, not really. The statue is sitting in the middle of ganga at the ghat of rishikesh. As far as I know it has nothing to do with the site you posted. Let me see if I can dig up some of my pictures from there.

Yes it is in the Ganges, but the location upon the banks which would be very good to see this would be Parmarth.

They have the Ganga Arti there in front of it every evening. I saw where the statue had been washed by the flooding, does anyone know if it survived intact?

Here's a picture taken from Parmarth of the statue.
