Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government has launched 'Ekatm Yatra' with an aim to collect metal pieces to install a 108-feet tall statue of Adi Shankaracharya at Omkareshwar in Khandwa district in the state.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan flagged off the 'Ekatm Yatra' in the presence of a large number of saints and seers in Ujjain on Tuesday.
"The contribution of Adi Shankaracharya will be made memorable by installing his statue at Omkareshwar, which will be developed as the novel center of Vedanta Darshan," Chouhan said while addressing a gathering at Ujjain.
