There has been a steady stream of visitors to the residence of sculptor Arun Yogiraj in Mysuru since Tuesday morning (January 2) to congratulate his family members on the reports in a section of media that the idol of Lord Rama sculpted by Mr. Yogiraj has been reportedly selected for the installation at the temple in Ayodhya which is readying for the inauguration on January 22.
Though an official announcement on the idol from the temple trust is awaited, people in Mysuru have expressed delight and hoped that the idol chiselled by Arun Yogiraj, whose works are well-known and received national recognition, was selected for the installation at the temple.
