A new bronze statue of Kalingarayan will be installed in Vellode, Tamil Nadu, and inaugurated on January 19, 2026. The statue was relocated due to road widening and roundabout construction causing traffic congestion at its original site. Following Chief Minister M.K. Stalin's directives, a suitable private land was purchased for the new location, which will also feature a small library dedicated to Kalingarayan. Orders for casting the statue have been placed.
