The statue of UNITY( My visit vlog)

 VISIT TO THE LARGEST STATUE OF WORLD

HI FRIENDS! This Diwali vacation I visited the world's tallest statue 😉 . It was an amazing experience. The statue of SARDAR VALLABHAI PATEL.


The Statue of Unity is a statue of Indian statesman and founding father, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950) in the state of Gujarat, India. It is the world's tallest statue with a height of 182 meters (597 ft). It is located on a river island facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the river Narmada in the Kevadiya colony, 100 kilometers (62 mi) southeast of the city of Vadodara.[2]
The monument and its surroundings occupy more than 2 hectares (4.9 acres), and are surrounded by a 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi; 3,000 acres) artificial lake.[citation needed] It was built by Larsen & Toubro, who received the contract for ₹2,989 crores (US$420 million) for the design, construction and maintenance in October 2014. The construction was started on 31 October 2014 and completed in mid-October 2018. It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and was dedicated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of Patel's birth.[3]
In our visit, we saw the surrounding area when we saw it from the chest portion of Sadar. We can go there through a lift. We also came to know that the face of him is faced as if he can see The Sardar Sarovar dam as his dream was to build a dam.
