US denies visas to acclaimed sculptor Yogiraj, family after two-month delay

Bengaluru, Aug 14 (UNI) In a surprising turn of events, the United States has denied visas to renowned Indian sculptor Arun Yogiraj and his family after their applications were left in limbo for two months.
"Despite submitting all required paperwork, we have not received any explanation for the visa refusal," Yogiraj told a section of reporters. The denial has come as a significant blow to the celebrated artist, who recently played a key role in the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol at the Ayodhya temple.
Yogiraj, a fifth-generation sculptor hailing from Mysuru, was selected to create the 'Ram Lalla' idol, a centerpiece of the newly completed Ayodhya Ram temple, which was unveiled earlier this year. His family had applied for visas to attend the World Kannada Conference-2024 in Richmond, Virginia, organized by the Association of Kannada Kootas of America. Despite their anticipation, the US Embassy has not provided any reason for the visa denial.
