Noida-based architect Ranjan Mohanti has designed the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk. A 40-ft-long and 12-metre-high classical Indian instrument Veena, weighing 14 tonnes, has been installed at the intersection. The Veena has been designed by master sculptor Ram Vanji Sutar, who designed the Statue of Unity, the world’s tallest statue, in Gujarat.
Initially, saints of Ayodhya had opposed renaming an Ayodya crossing in the name of Lata Mangeshkar. Instead, they wanted the famous Naya Ghat crossing to be renamed after Jagatguru Ramanandacharya.
However, saints agreed after the chief minister assured them to rename other places and roads in Ayodhya in the name of famous seers.
