Previously, Kumawat had created Canada's former tallest Hanuman statue, standing at an impressive 50 feet at the Voice of Vedas temple, backed by the patronage of a local businessman. His creative endeavors also extended to crafting a monumental 75-foot Samudra Manthan mural, an integral part of India’s Central Vista project within the new parliament building in Delhi. Depicting a significant episode from Hinduism's Vishnu Puran, this mural symbolizes the churning of the sea.
The Samudra Manthan, a significant episode in Hindu mythology, is a tale of the birth of divine beings and treasures, including the nectar of immortality, known as Amrit.
During India's Constitution Day, a seven-foot statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was unveiled at the Supreme Court, with Naresh Kumawat at the helm as the sculptor.
