        The bronze   Statue of   Unity pays tribute to Sardar    Vallabhbhai Patel,      a leader of the Indian     independence movement    who helped wrest the     country from British control.





You’d have to climb 182 meters,     or 597 feet, into the sky to reach     the top of the Statue of Unity, the     world’s tallest statue and a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai    Patel, an Indian independence leader who was      crucial in uniting a fractured country.

   Prime Minister Narendra Modi      was on hand Wednesday — Mr. Patel’s birthday,     known as         National Unity Day — to unveil the mammoth    statue, which looks over green hills and the Narmada      River in the western state of Gujarat.








For      perspective: It’s almost twice the height of the Statue of Liberty,     which, including the pedestal,     Without her pedestal, it would    take more than five     Lady   Libertys standing head-to-toe to       reach the statue’s head .




The statue was    designed by Ram V. Sutar, 93, who is among history’s most prolific monumental     sculptors. It opened over the objections of local tribal leaders     who were upset by     the destruction of land for the project and      the $400 million price tag.


Current-day Indian politicians     have been eager to      associate themselves with independence leaders.



Mr. Patel was India’s first deputy prime minister and      worked to bring together more than 500 princely states ruled by.     indigenous monarchs. He negotiated with the various rulers,         persuading all but a few to join the newly formed Indian           union within two years.



The statue    claimed the title of the world’s tallest from      the Spring Temple    Buddha in Lushan, China,         which reaches a height of 128 meters, or 420 feet.
