Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to open the memorial and address a public gathering at around 2:30 pm in Lucknow.
- The site includes three 65‑foot bronze statues of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Deendayal Upadhyaya, each weighing about 42 tonnes on water‑surrounded plinths.
- A 98,000 sq ft museum with five galleries and 12 interpretation walls anchors the complex, complemented by an amphitheatre for 3,000, a yoga and meditation block, helipads and a rally ground for over 2 lakh people.
- Security for the inauguration has been taken over by the Special Protection Group as BJP’s Uttar Pradesh unit mobilises a crowd target of nearly 2 lakh attendees.
- Officials say roughly 6.5 lakh metric tonnes of waste were cleared to reclaim about 32 acres for the project, while parallel commemorations include Amit Shah unveiling a 41‑foot Vajpayee statue in Panchkula.
