fact: This video is generated by AI. Multiple contradictions indicate artificial creation. The video also went back to my Instagram account (BharathFX1), which specializes in VFX and AI content, making it clear that the uploader is AI-Made. I confirmed the same thing with the AI detection tool. Therefore, the argument is error.

Further analysis of the “bharathfx1” Instagram profile shows that the account clearly states that its focus primarily on 3D computer graphics (VFX, film, animation) and video editing. The profile also features several other AI-generated videos, including one that demonstrates the creation of Hyderabad's famous cybertower (here, here, here, here).
To further check if the video was generated by AI, I ran it through the AI detection tool hive. This also shows that the video was most likely created using AI. Based on these, it has been confirmed that the video is being generated by AI.
In summary, this video showing the installation of a Buddha statue in Husseinsagar, Hyderabad in 1992 is generated by AI
