The Statue of Unity is a colossal statue of Indian independence leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel located in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is the world's tallest statue, standing 182 meters (597 feet) tall. The statue was built to commemorate Patel's contributions to the unification of India and his role in the country's independence from British rule.
Designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar, the Statue of Unity is made of bronze and is located on an island facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River. The statue was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 31, 2018, and has since become a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors every year.
In addition to honoring Patel's legacy, the Statue of Unity is intended to symbolize the strength and unity of the Indian people. It is also seen as a symbol of the country's growing global influence and its commitment to preserving its cultural heritage.
