The Heaviest Ganesha of 2025: Khairatabad Ganesha Features
During the 2025 Vinayakar Chaturthi festival, the Khairatabad Ganesha in Hyderabad, Telangana, was the largest public Ganesha idol constructed in India.
Key Idol Specifications & Features
Location: Khairatabad, Hyderabad, Telangana
Official Avatar: Sri Vishwashanti Mahashakti Ganapati
Height: 69 Feet (~21 Meters)
Iconography: Designed with 3 heads, 8 arms, and a canopy of 5 snakes above the heads. Side mandapams featured idols of Puri Jagannath, Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari, Hayagriva, and Gajjalamma.
Construction Effort: Built by chief sculptor Chinnaswamy Rajendran and a team of 125 artisans over 84 days.
Published Weight & Material Breakdown
The reported weight of 50 to 70 tonnes was arrived at by calculating the raw materials used in construction:
Structural Steel Framing: 30 tonnes of welded iron rods and steel channels forming the internal frame.
River Clay: 1,000 bags (~30 tonnes) of organic clay.
Sand & Soil: 20 tonnes of fine sand mix.
Paddy Straw & Husk: 70+ bags of paddy straw and rice husk used for binding.
Every part of an idol of this scale cannot simply be placed on a conventional weighing scale after completion. The overall weight can instead be estimated from the weighments of materials used during construction, together with calculations and engineering estimates.
But what if you wanted to physically weigh something this massive?
That is where the challenge gets interesting.
An object doesn’t have to be small, conventional, or easy to handle to be weighed. At Giri Brothers, we believe that if something needs to be weighed, there should be a way to physically weigh it.
Even when the object is massive, unconventional, or presents a unique engineering challenge, we can develop a weighing solution around the application.

Because sometimes the challenge isn’t what to weigh.
It’s how to weigh it.
