Sing an Ode to an Icon at the Statue of Unity
Standing tall at 182 metres, the Statue of Unity is not just the world’s tallest statue, but also a powerful tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first Deputy Prime Minister and the architect of national integration. Located on Sadhu Bet Island near the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River in Gujarat, the statue is surrounded by spectacular natural beauty—the serene waters of the Narmada and the majestic Vindhya and Satpura ranges in the background.
The sheer scale of the monument leaves visitors in awe. A high-speed elevator takes you up to the viewing gallery at 153 metres, offering panoramic views of the sprawling dam, lush surroundings, and the river. More than just a statue, this destination includes museums, audio-visual galleries, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Whether you’re a patriot, architecture enthusiast, or traveller seeking India’s modern marvels, a visit to the Statue of Unity is a deeply moving and unforgettable experience.
