Iron Man 2: The making of world's tallest statue of Sardar Patel
Located in Sadhu-Bet Island, Gujarat, the 182-metre long statue will occupy over 20,000 square meters, and will be surrounded by a 12 square km artificial lake. The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 2,989 crore. A 182-metre-high (600-foot-high) tribute to independence icon Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel that is being inaugurated in Gujarat state at the end of October will be the first to dwarf the Spring Temple Buddha in China, currently the world's biggest statue at 128 metres (420 feet) in height.
