India has constructed a 183 m (600 ft) statue as a tribute to the country\u2019s Iron Man Sardar Vallabhai Patel, who was responsible for the unification of India\u2019s erstwhile princely states.<\/p>\n
The ‘Statue of Unity’ is built against the scintillating view of the Vindhyachal & Satpura mountain range and the Narmada river in Gujarat. It features the iconic national figure Patel walking on the Narmada river towards the Sardar Sarovar dam.<\/p>\n
The statue was inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 31, 2018, the Birth Anniversary of the legendary Patel.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Modi laid the foundation stone for this iconic sculpture on the same day five years ago.<\/p>\n
