khairatabad Ganesh || 63 Feet Height || 1 Crore Rupees Idol
Inspired by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Singari Shankaraiah first established a 1 foot (0.30 m) Ganesh idol in 1954 at a temple in Khairatabad. The height of the constructed idol increased by one foot every year until 2014, where it reached 60 feet (18 m). The size was later reduced owing to the limitations of the route to Hussain Sagar lake and environmental concerns. The idol's peak height was 61 feet (19 m)[a] in 2019, thereby becoming the tallest idol of Ganesh in India that year.
