His entire family including his two sons Dewas and Anand, and daughters Chandni and Shiwangi played an instrumental role in the project.

The stone for the statue was brought all the way from Koyra mines in Karnataka to Champapur in Bihar.

The carving of the statue was done immaculately by Jagdish Sharma & Co, including Mithalal and Surendra Kumar, sculptors from Rajasthan, in Champapur itself.

The Panch Kalyanaka Pratistha Mahotsav of the statue was held from 27 February 2014 to 3 March 2014.
