The Ramakrishna Math here has planned to install the statues of Swami Vivekananda at seven places in Kumbakonam in memory of the Hindu monk who had stayed in the temple town for a few days on his return from the World’s Parliament of Religions held at Chicago in 1893.

Disclosing this to reporters here on Monday on the sidelines of the foundation stone laying ceremony held on Town Hall premises where it had been proposed to install a six-and-a-half feet high statue of Swami Vivekananda, the head of Thanjavur Ramakrishna Math, Swami Vimoortananda, said that the statue, to be made in fibre material, would be installed on a three-feet-high pedestal.
