“We've installed 41-feet-tall and 35-feet-tall statues before, and this year, we have a 45-feet statue. Our main theme has been dedicated to our Assamese icon Zubeen da (Zubeen Garg). We're dedicating this to him and remembering him this year. We hope everyone in Guwahati and across Assam will enjoy it.”
