Unfortunately, it's a giant Indian monkey god. Probably right next to the countries largest cricket complex.

This has to be in SugarLand and I guess a statue is different than a monument but the San Jacinto monument is 5x the height.

This does look cool though.

Probably because he's a racist... he doesn't count. Tear it down and build one of St. Floyd in it's place.

I've been to a Vietnamese temple in that stretch a couple times and noticed the Indian Hindu/Harikrishna temples. Interesting how the Buddhist temples are clustered with them in a small area.

Pretty sure Steve's pecker on 288 is sticking out about 90'.

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
