Ex-servicemen’s association from Cuddalore is behind the project
A panchaloha bust of the country's first Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Bipin Rawat, who died in a helicopter crash in Coonoor on December 8, is taking shape in Kumbakonam as a tribute by ex-servicemen from Cuddalore district.
A three-foot high clay model of the statue made by a team of five sthapathis – traditional sculptors trained in the art of metal and stone work used in temples – was unveiled to the media by Shine Indian Soldiers Social Welfare Foundation, which is executing the tribute along with the support of ex-servicemen in the district.
