MADIKERI: This serpent sculpture is all set to grab the world's attention. The five-foot tall 135 hooded stone sculpture could steal the title of the biggest Adishesha in the world from Nepal. The sculpture at Nepal's Pashupathinath temple is 108 hooded.
Aiming at the world record is sculptor Alamengada Kiran Subbaiah from Kodagu. Kiran says that the sculpture will have an engraving of 45 other snakes. It also has an Om, Sreechakra and Gayathri mantra, considered to be sacred for Hindus.
Working on the sculpture for three years, Subbaiah says it will be ready for auction in one year. The five-foot tall serpant is placed on a base of a width of 3 feet and breadth 3.8 feet.

Wishing all the best to Mr.Subbaiah and expecting more n more comments/blogs/discussion forums like this from Cari & Team. I guess this piece of info needs more coverage, may be in media.
Mr.Alamengada Subbaiah, the Sculptor! What a pleasant surprise! It is really nice to know that we have a sculptor among us. All the best to Mr.Subbaiah.
I believe his family name is Appanervanda not Almengada.
