Which are some of the world's tallest statues?
Inaugurated on Wednesday in Gujarat, Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue measuring 600 feet (182m). The previous tallest sculptures were China's 153-metre-tall Spring Temple Buddha, completed in 2008 and Japan's 120-metre-tall Ushiku Daibutsu, opened in 1993. Further, Sardar Patel's bronze sculpture is twice the height of New York's Statue of Liberty, gifted to US by France in 1886.
