India unveils world's tallest statue - Statue of Unity - Twice the Size of Lady Liberty

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the world’s tallest statue - Statue of Unity - as a tribute to Indian independence-era leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
Modelled after the 'Iron Man' of India, the statue of Patel is made from a mixture of concrete and steel framework for the core, covered by an exterior cladding of bronze.
An engineering marvel has been completed in a record time of 33 months, More then 70,000 tonnes of cement, 24,000 tonnes of steel and about 1,700 tonnes of bronze have gone into its construction.
It will stand at 597 feet (181.9m), or 177 feet (54m) higher than the current world's tallest statue, China's Spring Temple Buddha in the central Henan province.
The statue is designed to withstand winds of almost 180km/hour and earthquakes measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale.

[@colbybeltz8836]

Ajith Reddy not sure what tourism has to do with anything. The US makes $250 billion on tourism a year but I don’t consider that a reason they are powerful. India will become a superpower by tech industries, not tourism from statues. (Also, I respect the statue for what it stands for. I just don’t believe it being a status symbol of power)

Reminds me of the statue at Collosus.

It is designed to withstand earthquakes up till a magnitude of 6,5 on the scale of richter. It better doesn’t stand on a location with a lot of earthquakes than.

This statue was 400 million dollars, which is 0.07% of India's annual government budget. So think before commenting stupid things like "why doesn't India spend on removing poverty".
