Incredible photos reveal the progress being made on what is set to be the world's highest statue.

The £226.9million Statue of Unity in western India will be 597 feet tall when it's finished in October that's almost twice the height of the Statue of Liberty and nearly 100 feet higher than the current record holder, China's Spring Temple Buddha.

It's being built on Sadhu Island in the state of Gujarat, with the waters of the Narmada river surrounding it.

They're not serious With that their ginger/garlic odour

Instead of them to buy 'Smart Collections' for everyone in the city

Images reveal that the foundations have been laid for the structure along with central support pillars but there is still a bit of work to do before it takes on the form of the late political and social leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, whom it will honour.

Millions of tons of cement and steel have been shuttled to the site and recycled iron was used for the statue's foundation.


Along with a visitor's centre, the Statue of Unity will have a viewing gallery at 501 feet, which can accommodate up to 200 visitors at a time.

It will offerexpansive views of the surrounding area.

Adjacent to the attraction will be a three-star 128-room hotel, with restaurant and conference facilities.




Some people have criticised the Statue of Unity project for being a waste of money.


Vishal Shah wrote on YouTube in response to a promotional video:

'This is a ridiculous project, what would we achieve from it?'

Instead of them to buy 'Smart Collections' for everyone in the city

Hahahahaha, yhu be Boi Wicked wallahi

Waste of scare resources.

This statue is richer than davido(30billion)

Why Would Anybody Dare Rochas Okoroawusa To Delete Imo State Treasury?

Statue.??

Oh India local government dey IMO State

Spend this in some other places and I may have no issues (though that is still a RIDICULOUS amount of money to spend on something of near zero economical value) but to think this is being done in India, a country that still has one of the highest rates of deaths from severe hunger and diseases, and you begin to wonder WHO gave some politicians the brain they're using pls?

Why are they wasting money on statues??

Okorocha, where are you?

OK, we understand that it's for tourism purpose. But money can be used to build meaningful and productive coys to reduce hunger in their land

Where is Rochas?

Every country has a statue to associate with. like france, usa,brasil,England and so on. Good project.

lol..India, channel the money for something else
