(CBN) – A massive 155-foot statue of a Hindu god is being built in North Carolina, and the project is already underway. The world’s tallest statue of “Murugan” is being planned in Moncure in Chatham County, NC, the Indian Eagle reports.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
The “warrior god” will be at the center of the Carolina Murugan Temple Campus, which will be on 130 acres of residential land.
During the first phase of building, the main temple, three gopurams (entrances to a Hindu temple), and a road surrounding the campus will be completed and will cost around three to five million dollars, the outlet notes. By the project’s completion, the statue will be taller than the Statue of Liberty, which is about 151 feet when not including the pedestal.
In total, the project will cost around $10 million. Currently, organizers are requesting $1.9 million to complete phase 1 of the project.
Despite Hindus comprising only a small religious minority in the U.S., North Carolina has become an emerging prime destination for native Indians. In the town of Cary, which is on the outskirts of Raleigh, sits the 87-foot Tower of Unity and Prosperity, inaugurated in 2022, LifeSite News reports. Meanwhile, Hindu tourists travel far to come to the state to visit two prime temples.
Reports about the city’s plans are gaining national attention.
Texas Senate candidate Alexander Duncan, whose state erected a 90-foot-tall statue of the monkey-headed Hindu god Hanuman on the outskirts of Houston in 2024, shared a video of the site, writing, “This is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned when they wrote the First Amendment.”
Others commented on the video, speaking against a statue that promotes the worship of a false god. “This is unacceptable in America. A Christian nation,” wrote one user on X.
“We can’t even display a 100-foot American Flag in America. We are in big trouble,” another argued.
As CBN News has reported, Jonathan Cahn, a prophetic Messianic Christian leader in the U.S., teaches that as a nation turns away from God, it embraces ancient pagan “gods” or “idols,” just as ancient Israel did.
The Bible makes clear that pagan “gods” are demons and should not be worshipped.
That includes scriptures like Psalms 95:5, which reads: “For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens,” and 1 Corinthians 10:20, which reads, “What pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.”
CBN News spoke with an ex-Hindu who agrees. Mayuri Sharma was born and raised a devout Hindu from the Brahmin priestly caste. She had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that changed the trajectory of her life and spiritual walk.
However, she told CBN News that without God’s supernatural intervention, she would have remained deceived about the darkness behind Hinduism.
“We have this concept too in Hinduism that you have to pray every morning and get right with God. So I started praying and fasting to the Hindu idols. And I was really getting into it,” she recounted.
Sharma shared that a friend gave her a Bible. Initially, she wasn’t interested in it, but after talking with her friend for a while about God, she decided to open it.
“They said to me, ask Jesus if he’s real…ask Jesus if He’s actually God and if He’s the one who really made you,” she shared.
Sharma said she began to have supernatural dreams, and one of those dreams showed her the demonic power behind Hinduism.
“I had a vision that I was blindfolded and that I was being led down a dark stairway, and when I took off the blindfold, I looked at what I believed was Satan,” she described. “I was like, ‘Where are you taking me?’ And then I had that kind of realization like, whoa, I might be in the wrong thing.”
Sharma told CBN News that at one point, she received a supernatural deliverance. While receiving prayer from believers, she saw a vision of a “demon burning” and the “ropes” to Hinduism severed.
After that, she knew what she had to do.
“I took away all the idols in my home, which was a huge step for me because they were family idols. They’ve been passed down for generations throughout my family. But I took the chance, and I said, ‘Jesus, if this is you and you’re extending your hand to me, I’m going to meet you right where you’re at. I’m going to extend my hand back.'”

Oh Father! Protect us from false idols in this land. May Americans come to realize that we were created to worship the true and living God — our Creator — and have fellowship with You. May we not let strange and foreign gods, who are not gods but demonic powers, take Your place in our lives and in this land.
In Yeshua’s name, who revealed You as our Father.
I’m very touched by this article! It makes my heart and spirit melt with joy that this lady is saved and by the words from other Christian who helped her achieve what is of God the Father in Heaven!
It truly is a sad day in our country where such a small religious group can erect an overwhelming non Christian building- it encourages others to move away from God and all we have stood for.
Those choices will haunt us. Lord, help us to speak out against the war on Christianity in our own country.
Declaring that EVERY KNEE will bow to to the NAME OF JESUS! Praying for eyes to be opened to what is being worshipped and North Carolina will have a radical turning to the one true GOD and worship HIM only.
When I read this yesterday I was distressed. I phoned Sen. Budd’s and Rep. Rouser’s offices in hope of support. The office assistants listened but both mentioned this is most likely a state issue. I emailed my NC State reps, as well as the NC Chatham County reps. Below is my email to the county commissioners who approved this sacrilege.
[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]
Dear Commissioners,
Chatham County has permitted the building of a 155-foot statue of a Hindu god to be erected in the middle of a temple “campus” located on 100+ acres of residential land. I literally stumbled upon this report today and I wonder how this plan was ever deemed worthy of consideration? I do not believe a statue of Jesus Christ at this size would be allowed, nor would an American flag standing at 155 feet. This is so excessive that it transcends any reasonable attempt to justify religious freedom. I hope and pray you will reconsider.
Deeply and sincerely,
Susan
I received one reply from a NC state rep:
Thanks for your email. 155 feet seems extreme and I’m somewhat surprised that it doesn’t violate some sort of zoning regulation. But here’s the thing, we have to respect all religions because that guarantees that we can ALL worship as we choose. So if you owned the property next door and chose to erect a 155 foot tall statue of Jesus, you should be allowed to do it. We have to respect the sanctity of all religions.
Best regards,
Dear LORD, You are The Eternal, The Triune God, The Almighty….who can NEVER be encapsulated in a Name. You have always been and You will forever be… GOD. Moses declared, “The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.” And in Your revelation to John, he witnessed:
“ Heaven standing open, and there before him was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war. He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God!”
I pray You will reveal Yourself to the idol worshippers in Chatham County and in every heart that denies TRUTH and in this day, may they tremble in the AWE OF YOU. I ask this in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
Exodus 15:3, Revelation 19:11-16
A Mighty Amen 100 fold!!
Psalm 95:5 does not read as “quoted” in the article. Perhaps you mean Psalm 96:5 BET, (Brenton’s English Septuagint), which reads, “For all the gods of the heathens are devils…”
1 Cor 10:19 and 20 is very clear that when food is offered to idols, that it is being offered to demons.
Every false god has a demon behind it.
Father forgive us for letting these idols be built! Turn the hearts of those erecting these statutes to yourself; deliver us from Satan’s ploys and demons. May each of your people repent before you for their own idols and seek your face and pray with thankful hearts. Hear our prayer for deliverance. Move on city and state officials to bow before you and turn from any wicked ways they walk in now.
GOD in our repentance have mercy on us. In Yeshua’s Name. Amen.
Dear IFA readers and Christians,
We can’t stand in authority against what we are also feeding, funding and worshipping. YOGA.
As the article states, “Although Hindus comprise a small fraction…in the United States,” there are multiple millions more who worship the Hindu demons through their YOGA every day. Many, many claim to be engaged in ‘christian yoga,’ although we know that the true and Living YHVH (GOD) will never share His temple (us) with demons. I have personally seen and once attended a church offering yoga for babies.
America’s slow infiltration of YOGA has spiritually positioned these demons with authority to be raised high above our cities, because their adherents understand the spiritual concepts better than most Christians.
If you’re praying for this statue demon and others like it are toppled, be very careful that you don’t also have them elevated in your home, your heart, on your backs/bottoms as clothing labels, or your wallets, lest you are praying GOD’s judgment on yourselves.
Consider just a few of these warnings.

GOD in our repentance have mercy on us. In Yeshua’s Name. Amen.
Praise God what a testimony. Halleujah
Lord, may the lies in their understanding of heavenly things, which ensnares them to worship demons they call gods, be brought to the light and be exposed, Let their hearts become open to the truth of the Gospel. May a huge harvest be reaped from India, for Your glory and inheritance
yes Lord, we come against all the plans of devil in this land, we pray that you would open up the eyes of the leaders in authority to not give permission to such projects in future.. let all the lands be protected and sealed by the blood of Jesus and angel guard our land.. we pray all this efforts be cancelled and go in vain without funds.. North Carolina belongs to king of kings, its a land marked for revival..
[email protected]. The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God and pull down strongholds. Imaginations are cast down and high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of our God. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. We lift our voices to the throne room coming against these idols in the mighty Name of your beloved son And our savior Lord Jesus. AMEN
Lord, please bless and protect Mayuri Sharma. Thank you for the courage you gave her to destroy family idols! Thank you, CBN, for making Mayuri’s bold stand widely known so we can continue to pray for her stand for Jesus!.
When our founding Fathers wrote the laws governing America I believe it didn’t mean to give liberty and freedom to other nations coming to America to establish there own cities and erect statues to their gods! I know that if Americans were to go to India and try to even fly Old Glory that would be a BIG no no. So why do we take our guarantee of liberty and freedom so lightly and give it away? Why are so many political elected officials, american taught lawyers and city mayors freely protect (immigrants) and give them the right to erect statues?
Prayer works and we have seen just what a nation can do when we humble and pray, but when We The People hear and see what is going on in our own cities and don’t take matters into our hands and protest and fight city ordianices and city elected officials then when those statues are done it’s nobody fault except your OWN!
Jesus told us to pray the Lord’s Prayer: “Deliver us from evil (and from the evil one).” I pray that for Hindus everywhere, including Usha, the wife of vice president JD Vance. Hindus are a small minority in America? Yes, but like the Muslims, they are building temples all over. Our God looks upon this. Hinduism is demonic. So is the Muslim religion that wars against faith in Jesus the son of God. America, once a mostly Christian nation, is being greatly polluted with the demonic. Me, I can see how Satan is working to bring America down. Foreign demonic religions plus Open Borders plus our own sinful hedonism. Will America still be the America we love by the time of the Antichrist and the Tribulation?
There are a number of high level officials in our current government who are Hindus. Letnus pray that they have a Saul moment where the turn to Kesus as their Lord and Savior.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” Matthew 21: 18-22 NIV
*********
Almighty Warrior, Captain of the Armies of Heaven: You have been given ALL authority in Heaven and Earth, You know every hair on my head, You vindicate Your people. The heavens, skies, water, air, trees – ALL creation – respond to Your voice.
In Your Mighty Name, as many have prayed, I ask for no delay in the removal – once and for all – of this colossus in North Carolina, of all the other pagan colussuses in this Nation that represent demonic power. As the colossus in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream was destroyed “without hands” by Your mighty power,
Let not one inch of this – and any other – atrocity be constructed anywhere in this Nation. Seize the reigns of this and all projects that are guised to be monuments of enlightenment – when in fact – they are demonic.
LORD Jesus, I am confident in You. I lift my eyes and my hands to You, the One who defeated the grave and gave me everlasting life. All glory, honor and praise belong to You, Jesus. Amen
O my God, please hear this prayer and bless it even MORE abundantly than DC asked….”Let not one inch of this – and any other – atrocity be constructed anywhere in this Nation.” Yes, all glory, honor and praise belong to You, Jesus. AMEN!
It helps to have the mind of Christ.
This is ours when we accept Him as Savior and Lord
and pursue with every breath the privilege of knowing Him.
GLORIFY YOUR NAME IN ALL THE EARTH!!!
LORD JESUS.
AMEN.
Ancient prophecy talks about what is to come and these United States are a large part of what’s coming to pass.. Satan will try to stop God but it won’t happen! The church of Yeshua (Jesus) must not let these things happen! Yeshua gave us the authority over all of satan’s power but we must use it!!
who approved these idols to be built ? How is this possible? Who owned the land before it was purchased? At the highest level in N.C. what board or council could approve this were there Hindus on that transaction? Lord God Almighty in the Powerful name of Your only son Yesuha bring massive destruction to this beast and it’s followers. We the body of Christ have sinned greatly in this nation .The things being revealed are total demonic. This is spirit war calling for your mighty Holy angelic army.
Amen!
I pray against all idols. We are One Nation Under God Almighty only.
Do not allow this false god idol to be built in north Carolina. Stop the plans and its construction Now !!! in the name of Yeshua Ha Maschiach. Ask why is this happening ? if we do not honour the God of Israel, and partition the land of Israel, what will happen to a nation that pursues such acts ?
The Lord have mercy on the U.S.
Just as God destroyed the idol Dagon, by causing him to fall over breaking his head and hands off in I Samuel 5:1-5 our God is able to destroy these statues of idols. We serve the only true and living God who is all powerful.
As the church prays, this statue will crumble and fall down before it is completed!
The scripture you used was wrong. It is PS. 96:5 not 95:5.
Great typo catch! An important one.
Dear lord, awaken your church to the reality of spiritual warfare, and how to fight it through the power of your word and the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Awaken your church to the power of worship, fasting (going without food) and prayer. Lord, help your people to know, and stand in their biblical spiritual authority. Help your people to take this as the spiritual attack that it is and act according to the authority of your word in the name of Jesus.
