Shiva is depicted in a seated position with his legs crossed and holding a trishula in his left hand. Shiva's left foot is thrown over the knee of his right leg. The facial expression is detached, meditative. The statue has a distinctive copper shade. There are two vantage points that offer a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Design for the statue began in 2011, construction began in 2016, and it was completed in 2020. The overall statue is 369 feet (112 m) tall; the pedestal is 110 feet (34 m) tall. The statue can be seen from as far as 20 kilometres (12 mi) away.
The interior of the statue contains an exhibition hall as well as public viewing galleries accessible by elevator at 20 feet (6.1 m), 110 feet (34 m), and 270 feet (82 m). The installation includes a statue of Nandi, Shiva's bull, measuring 25 feet (7.6 m) tall and 37 feet (11 m) long. The 16-acre grounds also include a parking facility, three herbal gardens, a food court, a laser fountain, and an area for handicraft shops,[8] viewing platforms, musical fountains, souvenir shops and a pond. There is a mini-train on site for quick local sightseeing.
