Sculpting Dreams: Arun Yogiraj's Journey from MBA to the Grand Rama Temple
Sculpting Dreams: Arun Yogiraj's Journey from MBA to the Grand Rama Temple. Arun Yogiraj, an MBA graduate who has become a renowned artist, has reached an important achievement. The idol he created has been selected to be erected at the Grand Rama Temple in Ayodhya. Yogiraj is in the footsteps of his grandfather and father and sculptors of repute, who both enjoyed the support of the king of Mysore. He began his journey to sculpt in the early years of his life. A family descendant with generations of famous sculptors from Mysore, Arun Yogiraj briefly was in the corporate world after finishing his MBA. But his love for sculpture re-inspired him in 2008. Through the years, He has created a variety of famous sculptures, earning national recognition. His most significant works include the 30-foot figure of Subash Chandra Bose. Also, an impressive 12-foot-high sculpture of Adi Sankaracharya from Kedarnath. Three sculptors submitted plans for the monumental installation within the sanctum sanctorum at the Rama Temple; Arun Yogiraj's creation, Sri Rama's divine form, was chosen to be installed before the ceremony of consecration called Pran-Pratishtha. This is a major achievement in Yogiraj's career as an artist.
