The Isha Foundation in Chikkaballapura houses the 112 ft 𝑨𝒅𝒊 𝒀𝒐𝒈𝒊 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒆 🗿which was unveiled by Chief Minister of Karnataka on 15-Jan-2023. The Adi Yogi statue in Chikkaballapura is a replica of a popular statue at Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. There is also a Naga Mantapa on the premises as well. This place is still under construction but open to the public post the unveiling of the statue. Almost a year back in Feb 2022, the Bhoomi Pooja was performed and this location had been identified.

The Adiyogi statue is a 34-metre tall (112 ft), 45-metre long (147 ft) and 25-metre wide (82 ft) steel statue of Shiva. The Coimbatore one which was inaugurated earlier is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the "𝑳𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆” in the world and hence I am guessing the Chikkaballapura one being a clone of the other would share the same record. The statue weighs around 500 tonnes. Its height, 112 ft, symbolizes the 112 possibilities to attain to moksha (liberation) that are mentioned in yogic culture, and also the 112 chakras in the human system.
