The arms of this Hanuman idol open and a trolley holding idols of Lord Ram and Sita comes out of his heart. Well, this is not an animated or 3D scene. This unique 108-feet idol is located at It took around 13 years to complete the idol, which has been placed 
30 feet under the ground. The four-storied temple inside the statue houses temples of Lord Ram, Lord Shvia, Sai Baba and Vaishno Devi. The door to the temple is thorough the mouth of the demon. There is a fountain on the statue with water flowing from the head.
The automated arms opening of the Hanuman Statue takes place only on Tuesdays and Thursdays after the evening prayers at 1900hrs.

I used to live in Delhi and have seen this statue right from when it was being built, every day on my way to college and back.
I love Hanuman. But this statue is very unpleasing aesthetically. The colours are garish and the whole effect of it being in the middle of the city, on a crowded street (with the Metro passing by a hair's breadth) is totally out of place.
We Hindus have the freedom to depict our Gods in any image we wish. Please, let us use that artistically! A much better version of Hanuman is the marble statue in Vasant Enclave in South delhi. Also, who can forget the imposing, yet stately Shiv murti on the Delhi Gurgaon highway.
Hanuman is one of our cutest Gods. He is suppossed to be alive to this day. I am sure, he will recoil at the sight of this very garish depiction of him!
