Bharatiya Janata Party president JP Nadda unveiled a huge statue of Lord Rama at the state party headquarters in Lucknow on Friday.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, state in-charge Radha Mohan Singh, Deputy CM Keshav Maurya and state BJP chief Swatantra Dev Singh were present on the occasion.
A party functionary said that a proper canopy would later be constructed for the statue which has been carved out of bronze.
Earlier in June, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had unveiled a seven-foot tall statue of Lord Rama at Shodh Sansthan museum in Ayodhya.
The statue, made of a single block of rosewood in Karnataka and costing Rs 35 lakh, has been put on display at the museum.
