Shivaji statue height increased to compete with China statue
The Maharashtra government will increase the height of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Memorial by two metres, making it the tallest statue in the world. The Shivaji memorial will now be 212 metres tall, although it was earlier supposed to be 210 metres tall. The decision was made after China decided to add two floors to its 208-metre-high Buddha statue.
