One of the largest seamless stainless steel structures in the world is set to be inaugurated on the banks of the Hussainsagar in the next few months.
“The Martyrs’ Memorial is shaped like a steel diya (lamp) and will have an infinite flame at the top that could be seen for miles across the city. We are giving finishing touches and it should be ready in two months,” says artist Ramana Reddy who has designed the monument. At 50 metres length and 30 metres width, the memorial is a little larger than an Olympic size swimming pool.
Inspired by Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate in Chicago, the steel structure will be a shiny steel blob where visitors can walk inside to see a museum dedicated to martyrs for the cause of Telangana.
