The first couple of days post the inauguration, the statue saw 4,796 visitors and contributed a revenue of Rs 9.53 lakh via ticket collection. As of 1 November, a total of 2737 visitors travelled to the statue, making way for a contribution of Rs 5,46,050. The second day witnessed a collection of Rs 4,07,650 as 2,299 visitors were present at the tourist attraction that has been recently inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India.
The statue authorities have clarified that ticket cost per person for visiting the viewing gallery of the statue is Rs 380 as opposed to the earlier claim of Rs 350. The extra Rs 30 is the cost for bus travel from the parking lot to the statue.
