Fauja Singh: A Legacy Cast in Bronze
A double tribute is being planned for legendary marathoner Fauja Singh, who passed away recently. Sculptor Gurpreet Singh is crafting two statues – a bust for his native Beas village, and a life-size model for a local artist’s park.
The family is making arrangements for a large-scale funeral in Beas on July 19, 2025, anticipating a significant gathering of mourners and admirers.
This dual commemoration will ensure Fauja Singh’s remarkable journey, inspiring millions with his dedication and spirit, is remembered for generations to come in his home village and beyond. His legacy as a symbol of resilience and human potential will continue to motivate aspiring athletes across India.
