The Statue of Unity is a statue (pratima<\/i>\/\u092a\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093f\u092e\u093e<\/b>) of Vallabhbhai Patel, who hailed from India’s western state of Gujarat. Vallabhbhai Patel was a barrister (vakeel<\/i>\/\u0935\u0915\u0940\u0932<\/b>), a statesman (raajneta<\/i>\/\u0930\u093e\u091c\u0928\u0947\u0924\u093e<\/b>), and a leader (neta<\/i>\/\u0928\u0947\u0924\u093e<\/b>)\u00a0<\/b>in India’s movement for independence (swatantratraa<\/i>\/\u0938\u094d\u0935\u0924\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093e<\/b>) from British rule. In addition to his title (padvi<\/i>\/\u092a\u0926\u0935\u0940<\/b>) of “Iron man of India” he was also known fondly as \u00a0“Sardar” (sur-daar<\/i>\/\u0938\u0930\u0926\u093e\u0930<\/b>)\u00a0or chief; Patel is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the republic of India. He was instrumental in uniting hundreds of small princely states in India into a modern India. Patel served as the first deputy prime minister of a free India.<\/p>\n

The Statue of Unity stands 597 feet tall, and is the tallest such structure in the world. It is higher than China’s Spring Temple Buddha and double the height of the Statue of Liberty. This monumental structure took over 4 years to build at an estimated cost of 2900 crore rupees or roughly $400 million dollars. The structure is built to withstand upto a 6.5 quake and winds of 130km\/hr.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The statue has evoked nationalistic sentiments and criticism at the same time–while many believe that it’s a fitting tribute to Sardar Patel, critics have drawn attention to the expense at which the Statue of Unity has been constructed.<\/p>\n

A reported 128000 tourists have visited the Statue of Unity in the 11 days since it’s inauguration.\u00a0Learn more about how you can visit the Statue of Unity.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
