A statue built as a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as one of India’s independence leaders has been unveiled.
The statue, dubbed the “Statue of Unity,” is 182 meters tall, making it the biggest statue in the world.
The "Statue of Unity" was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat today, according to Guardian reports.
"The height of the statue is to remind the youth that the future of the country will be as huge as this."
The bronze-clad statue cost $430 million to build and houses a memorial garden and a museum at its base.
