Located in Gujarat, this monumental statue was completed in 2018 and required over 2,000 workers, 3,000 tons of bronze cladding, and nearly five years of construction. The statue depicts Patel in a walking pose, symbolizing determination and progress. Its base houses a museum detailing Patel’s role in uniting India after independence. The site also features viewing galleries, gardens, and a surrounding reservoir, creating a comprehensive cultural and educational experience. The Statue of Unity not only celebrates India’s history but also highlights its engineering prowess on a global stage.
