The Karnataka government said that it has proposed to construct a 125 feet structure of mother Cauvery that appears to be inspired by the recent trend of building statues as tributes, inspiration to future generations and in the garb of promoting tourism. Minister DK Shivakumar proposed it. The latest such proposal by Karnataka, that will be built around the Krishna Raja Sagar reservoir in Mandya district, about 90 kms from Bengaluru, will be dedicated to river Cauvery, the life line for at least three southern states, which is worshipped across several cultures.
