Humans make statues to come to be immortal on the footprints of history.
Taller statues are being constructed because of the old times and also making a substantial area in the tourism industry of their respective countries.
With the unveiling of the Statue of Unity in India today, there is a brand-new name covering the listing of the tallest statues in the world. The new monolith to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel stands 597 feet (182 meters) high, overtaking the previous record-holder, the 420-foot (128-meter) Spring Temple Buddha, in China’s Lushan County.
