Statue Of Unity with Vadodara

The Government of India created history on 31^st Oct 2018 by unveiling the tallest statue in the world – ‘The Statue of Unity’. There’s no doubt that the statue which is standing tall at 182 metre, got all attention from the world nations as it is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty and 23 metre taller than the Spring Temple Buddha Statue in China.

Statue of Unity – A Tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

The Statue of Unity is built to honor Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a great freedom fighter and the first Home Minister of Independent India.

It is only due to Patel’s effort that we could see a unified India today. Sardar Patel took the ultimate task of uniting all the 562 princely states of pre-independent India and so the statue is named, ‘The Statue of Unity’. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was so courageous that people of India fondly called him ‘The Iron Man of India’.

The Statue of Unity is built in dedication to Iron Man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who served as the first home minister of independent India. At 182 metre, the statue is 23 metre taller than China’s Spring Temple Buddha statue and almost double the height of the Statue of Liberty (93 metre tall) in US.
