The best in the world! United Statue
“Statue of Unity”- The free will of breaking through the sky
The highest statue was unveiled in India on October 31, 2018, but it is about twice the height of the U.S. Statue of Liberty. It has caused controversy because of the huge cost. This 182-meter-high bronze statue was named "Statue of Unity", which is located in Gujarat in the western part of the country, and it cost 29.9 billion rupees (about 430 million US dollars).
The statue was used to commemorate the founding father of India, SardarVallabhbhai Patel. Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, said that the "Statue of Unity" would be expected to become a major tourist attraction in the region.
The tallest statue
"Statue of Unity" is located on the island of the Narmada River in Gujarat, India, about 200 kilometers away from Ahmedabad, the largest city in the state.
Patel’s statue is dressed in a traditional Indian lungi and shawl, and the folds of his clothes are also vividly portrayed.
SardarVallabhbhai Patel is the leader of the Indian independence movement and the leader of the National Congress.
In 1947, he became the first vice prime minister and minister of the interior in India. Thanks to Patel's efforts, more than 500 independent cities eventually merged into India. So He was known as the "Iron Man of India". This history is also the reason of the statue's name "Unity".
Patel had worked closely with Mahatma Gandhi, known as the father of the nation, but he often had disagreements with the first Prime Minister, Nehru. This statue is about 182 meters high. It is taller than Zhong Yuan Big Buddha in Henan, China, which is more than 128 meters tall, and it has become the highest statue in the world today.
The "Statue of Unity" weighs about 67,000 tons, of which the outer 12,000 bronze pieces weigh about 1,850 tons, which can withstand strong earthquakes and hurricanes.
The base of the statue is a museum, and visitors can also take the internal elevator to the 153-meter-high viewing platform on the chest of the statue.
Indian officials expect the statue to attract 2.5 million visitors each year.
The height of status is 182 meters.
It is twice higher than the world famous Statue of Liberty.
It is higher than Zhong Yuan Big Buddha, which is thehighest in the world, about 27 meters.
Patel statue would be completed in October 2018.
It has become one of the highest statues in the world.
It is the miracle in India.
Let the world be amazed again.
Such a huge statue is how to be designed and manufactured?
