THE MOST IMPRESSIVE STATUE OF PEGASUS IS IN INDIA ~ THE MGR MEMORIAL OF CHENNAI

MGR Μemorial is a monument built on the Marina beach in Chennai, India. It was built in memory of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. G. Ramachandran. Spread over 8.25 acres, the Memorial is located adjacent to the Anna Memorial and has the highest footfall on the seafront. The body of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and MGR's protégé J. Jayalalithaa is also buried at this site.
The Memorial was built in 1988 and was inaugurated by Janaki Ramachandran, wife of M. G. Ramachandran, in May 1990.

Until 2012, the facade of the Memorial was a tall entry arch with folded hands.Then it was replaced with a concrete replica of a two-leaf emblem, the symbol of AIADMK party founded by M. G. Ramachandran. The facade was also given a Greek touch with the erection of a 12-foot-high bronze sculpture of Pegasus, the winged horse -one of the most recognized creatures in Greek Religion. Pegasus is the offspring of the Olympian God Poseidon. The 3.75-ton sculpture, worked by architect R. Ravindran, a sthapathi from Mamallapuram, is set on a 4.5-metre-high pedestal.

Two 15.9-metre-high columns serving as the entrance are built with reinforced concrete. The elevated "two-leaf" structure is supported by a 6-metre-high beam serving as the stem. This structure, with a span of 10.2 metre for each leaf, will be a metre higher than the nearby towering columns. The leaves have a slight resemblance to a honeycomb which is visible from both the front and the back.
