Shri Hanuman Jakhu, Religious statue at Jakhu Hill, Shimla, India.
The monumental Hanuman statue reaches 33 meters into the sky from its position at the highest point of Jakhu Hill in Shimla.
The construction of the statue began in 2008 and reached completion in 2010, with an inauguration ceremony led by Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.
This representation of Lord Hanuman marks the location where, according to Hindu scripture, the deity rested during his search for medicinal herbs.
Visitors can reach the statue via the Jakhu Ropeway system, which connects central Shimla to the temple complex on the hilltop.
The statue earned recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest Hanuman statue, exceeding the height of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer.
