Before moving the revered Standing Hanuman statue at Ujjain's Shri Khade Hanuman Temple, officials carried out a detailed scan. Experts advise thorough analysis before any decision to relocate the icon.
The temple authorities in Ujjain announced that a scanning process had been undertaken before any attempt to move the Standing Hanuman statue. The scan aimed to capture the statue's dimensions and structural details without physically touching it.
The scan was carried out using advanced imaging technology, allowing engineers and historians to assess the statue's condition and stability. The data will help determine whether the statue can be safely relocated or if it should remain in its current location.
Several experts, including conservation specialists and structural engineers, emphasized that any decision should be based on the scan results and a comprehensive risk assessment. They warned that moving the statue without proper analysis could damage the icon and compromise its cultural significance.
The temple administration has stated that the scanning report will be reviewed by a panel of experts before any relocation plans are finalized. The community remains hopeful that the statue will be preserved for future generations.
