Statue of Maharaja Suheldev:
Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for a 4.20 m high statue of Maharaja Suheldev in Bahraich on the day which also marks his birth anniversary. Suheldev was an 11th-century warrior king of Shravasti.
Earlier in February 2016, the BJP Chief at the time Amit Shah had unveiled a statue of Suheldev and had also launched a book on him in the district located near the Nepal border. Later the central government released a stamp and had also started running superfast train in his name.
According to the government, Maharaja Suheldev’s service and devotion to the country is an inspiration for all. With the development of the memorial site, India will be better acquainted with his heroic saga. The work will also further enhance the tourist potential of this site.
