At 182 metres, the statue will measure twice the height of the Statue of Liberty and nine times that of the Angel of the North. It will be more than 50 metres taller than China’s Spring Temple Buddha, the world’s current record holder, at 128 metres
Construction of the statue, which the government pegs to be the world’s largest statue, was completed at a record time of 33 months. PMNarendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for the project on 31 October 2013 when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
