Statue of Unity

Tribute to Iron-man of India

The statue has been built as a verse to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India and the first home minister of independent India. He was responsible for uniting all 562 princely states of the country to build the Republic of India. The Statue has the expression, posture and pose justify the dignity, confidence, iron-will as well as kindness that Sardar Patel’s personality radiates.

The Statue of Unity overlooks the vast surrounds and the river basin of the Narmada River and the sprawling Sardar Sarovar dam. It stands on the Sadhu Bet hillock, connected by a 300-meters bridge, which offers access from the mainland to the statue.
