Karunanidhi. It is currently the 25th tallest statue in India.

#JakhuTemple is a popular tourist site. Dedicated to #LordHanuman, it houses a 108-foot-tall idol of the deity. Due to its location on the highest point of #Shimla, it offers sweeping views of the Shivalik ranges. Legend has it that Lord Hanuman stopped here in his quest for the sanjeevani plant, which was the herb needed to cure Lord Lakshmana as he was injured in the battle against Ravana. Another story suggests that one of Lord Hanuman's sandals fell at this spot, and thus a temple came to be built here. The temple lies about 2.5 km away from the famed Ridge in Shimla. It takes on a celestial charm during monsoons.

The #BelumCaves is the largest and longest cave system open to the public on the Indian subcontinent, known for its speleothems, such as stalactite and stalagmite formations. The Belum Caves have long passages, galleries, spacious caverns with fresh water and siphons. This cave system was formed over the course of tens of thousands of years by the constant flow of underground water from the now-disappeared river Chitravathi. The cave system reaches its deepest point ( 46 m (151 ft) from entrance level) at the point known as Pataalaganga. In Telugu language, it is called #BelumGuhalu.
