TEMPLES IN BIHAR
* 13 Jan 2026
The Viraat Ramayan Mandir is a monumental Hindu temple complex
under construction near Kesaria, Bihar, India. Once completed, it will
be the world's largest religious monument, standing at 405ft (~123m)
tall, spanning 2,800ft length and 1,400ft width, with space for 20,000
devotees at a time.
The design draws on the majesty of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, and
incorporates elements from renowned Indian temples (Rameswaram, and
Meenakshi Temple). Its grand shikhar (spire) will be twice the height of
Angkor Wat. The premises will have 18 garbhagrihas (sanctums) for
various deities shrines including world’s tallest Shiva Linga (33ft),
Lord Rama, Sita, Luv, Kush, Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha, and others.

transport vehicle. The massive Shivling is 33 feet tall, weighs around
