Karunanidhi's statue, in a rich golden yellow hue is in a sitting posture with a writing pad and pen and the sculpture was adorned with a bright garland of red roses. The sitting pose with a pen and pad is also reminiscent of similar statues of DMK founder C N Annadurai put up by the party decades ago in various parts of Tamil Nadu.

The former Chief Minister's statue features the late leader's trademark dark glasses and smile. Banerjee arrived here on Tuesday for the event and she is slated to address a public meeting to be held by the DMK later in the evening.
