The installation of the marble statue of Sevalal Baba
Sri Chandrabhan Rathod got the portrait of Sevalal Baba, which was earlier in Nizam’s museum in Hyderabad. Sri Harilal Nayak arranged for redrawing that sketch and got 50,000 prints of the same and distributed among the Banjara tribe.
In 2008 Arjun Rathod, Govind Rathod and P.Harilal Naik from Mumbai went to Rajasthan and spent their own money around Rs.9.5 lakhs to sculpt out a 6 ft. 2 inch tall marble statue of Sevalal Baba weighing about six tons, sculpted by the well-known sculptor Sri Kamal Pandey.
