Statue of Unity
The Statue of Unity is a memorial monument made in the honor of late Sadar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875-1950), an activist and statesman. Patel was highly respected for his leadership among 562 princely states uniting them for a nonviolent Indian independence movement. He was then elected as the first prime minister and home minister of independent India. For his great courage and high competence towards freeing the country, the government of Gujrat decided to honor him with a colossal statue.
The spectacular statue stands strong at 182 meters (597 ft) currently it’s the world’s largest statue. Situated in Gujrat India near the bank of river Narmada at kevadia colony facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam in the southeast side of Vadodara. Just 5 km away from the kevadia railway station and 150 km away from the surat.
