Oldest sacred monument to be lifted and shifted by an organisation 

The record for lifting and shifting the oldest sacred monument was set by Shri Ram Building Lifting, under the direction of Vikash Kumar (born on September 4, 1994) of Kurukshetra, Haryana. A 200-year-old sacred monument, the Shrine of St. John’s Nepumsian Church of Kochi, Ernakulam (Kerala), was lifted and shifted to a location 26 metres away, using the technique suitable for completing the ‘lift and shift’ project, as confirmed on June 8, 2026.
