WORLD'S TALLEST STATUE:Statue of Unity(INDIA)

Here are some of the amazing facts about the 'Statue of Unity' :
With a height of 182 metres, the statue is said to be the largest in the world, taller than the Buddha Statue in Spring Temple Budha in China (128 metres), The Statue of Liberty in the US (93 metres) as well as Brazil’s Christ, The Redeemer (38 metres).
The statue is approximately 3.5 kms away from the Sardar Sarovar Dam at Kevadia in the Narmada district.
The construction of the statue is undertaken by Larsen &Toubro (L&T) with the total project costing around Rs. 2,989 crore.
The statue will have a hotel enclosed within it. The hotel named ‘Shrestha Bharat Bhavan’, is a 52-key, 3-star facility on two guestroom levels above a public floor containing meal services, a ballroom, and other meeting and event spaces. King rooms and suites are located on the river side of the building, where they have access to balconies overlooking generous gardens.
The project also includes a unique museum and audio-visual department depicting the life and times of Sardar Vallabhbai Patel.
The statue will also have a laser, light and sound show on the efforts of Unification of India.
The statue will also have a shopping centre and a selfie point. A viewing gallery at the height of 193 metres from sea level is included in the project, which can accommodate 200 visitors at a time.
A heavy-load open lift with a panoramic view will be built alongside the Statue of Unity. Visitors will be able to rise up within statue, walk into a viewing gallery and enjoy a panoramic view of the Sardar Sarovar Nigam project and the surrounding region from an astounding height of close to 400ft.
“This monument will not just be a mute memorial like the rest, but a fully functional, purpose-serving tribute that will spur all round socio-economic development, in the form of better connectivity, healthcare & education infrastructure, research centre for agriculture development and various tribal development initiatives,” the official website for the landmark statue said.
The Gujarat government expects an average of over 15,000 tourists will visit the monument on a single day.
