Projection mapping statue of unity

The Standing at a height of 182 meters (597 ft.), the bronze-clad statue is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty and 29 meters taller than China’s Spring Temple Buddha, which previously held the title of the world’s tallest. Located in the state of Gujarat near the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada River, the Statue of Unity is designed by renowned Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar and took five years to build. It features a naturalistic and historically accurate representation of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, donning characteristic garments and in a walking stance. The late Indian leader, dubbed the “Iron Man of India”, played a leading role in the struggle for independence and guided India’s integration into a united, independent nation. The local media describes the Statue of Unity as an “architectural and engineering masterpiece”. Among the key attractions are a viewing gallery at the height of 153 meters that offers breathtaking views of the Narmada dam and a museum focusing on the life of Sardar Patel. During the day, the magnificent statue is a sight to behold and can be seen from as far as seven kilometers away. As night falls, its façade becomes the canvas of a fascinating projection mapping showcase depicting Patel’s life and achievements.
