A Remarkable Tribute to Bravery: 12 feet tall statues by Metal Construction capture the fearless spirit of five young men attempting to tame the majestic Kangeyam bull

The ambitious renovation project, carried out by KCP Infra, spans an area of 5 km and has been executed at an estimated cost of around Rs. 50 crores.

KCP Chandra Prakash, Managing Director of KCP Infra, shared details about the transformational efforts put into the lake area. “The banks of the Kurichi lake, now 4 meters wide, have been designed with modern technology to facilitate activities like walking, jogging, and cycling. Alongside the banks, vibrant flowering plants and saplings have been thoughtfully planted, adding a touch of natures beauty.” he said.

As a celebration of Tamil culture and tradition, the lake area features sculptures showcasing traditional Tamil sports such as Jallikattu, Silambam and the vibrant Pongal festival. Of particular significance, 12 feet tall statues depicting five young men attempting to tame the majestic Kangeyam bull have been meticulously crafted by Metal Construction. What sets this initiative apart is the innovative inclusion of a statue showing men running away from the bull, a unique portrayal that stands out from the conventional statues of warriors taming bulls seen elsewhere.
