Kul Gali haykali, Ulyanovsk, Bronze statue of the poet Kul Gali in Ulyanovsk, Russia

Kul Gali haykali is a bronze figure of the medieval Volga-Bulgar poet holding a book, set on a pedestal near the Tatar Culture Centre on Narimanov Avenue. The pedestal bears his name, the dates 1183–1236 and the line "Poet-humanist, founder of Tatar (Bulgar) literature", with a verse in Russian and Tatar below. The sculpture was modelled by Moscow sculptor Konstantin Golovushkin after a design by Ulyanovsk artist Ilmir Aksyanov.

The monument honors a medieval poet whose writings shaped Tatar literary traditions and left a lasting mark on regional intellectual life. The statue itself was built much later to keep this historical figure and his literary legacy present in contemporary cultural memory.

The statue stands by the Tatar Cultural Centre on Narimanov Avenue, where visiting Tatars from other regions have their photographs taken beside it. Its pedestal carries the poet's name, the dates 1183–1236 and the line "Poet-humanist, founder of Tatar (Bulgar) literature". Below, in Russian and Tatar, are verses from his work: "O Allah, illuminate my spirit, contained in flesh, guide my mind now toward good thoughts."

The statue stands on Prospekt Narimanova beside the Tatar Culture Centre, in a district of compact Tatar settlement away from the old centre. It faces an open paved area where visitors from other regions stop to photograph it. Approach on foot along the avenue; the monument and its pedestal are at ground level and can be viewed from all sides.

The statue was a gift from the government of Tatarstan, which donated 1.2 million rubles, while more than a thousand residents of Ulyanovsk Oblast gave money for the pedestal and the surrounding grounds. In 2011 the Russian postal service issued a stamped envelope showing the monument and the dates 1183–1236.
