The Statue of Unity is a statue of Indian statesman and founding father Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in the Narmada district of Gujarat, India. It currently holds the record for the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres or about four times as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

  • The number ‘182’ was a conscious choice representing the 182 Assembly constituencies of Gujarat. 
  • Apart from the statue itself, there are five other related sites that are constructed along with the world’s tallest statue. These include the walkway, the ticket counter, the food court, the four-lane approach highway, and the ‘Shrestha Bharat Bhavan’- a 52-room three-star lodging facility for the visitors coming to see the monument.
  • Altogether, 4,076 labourers were reported to have worked on the project. Around a thousand of those have worked on the cladding of the statue alone, which has been forged in China. They include around 800 locals and about 200 workers from China, who had been working in batches for two-three months each since September 2017.

The Karni Mata Temple is one of the most holy sanctums, but little do people know that it is also one of the most mysterious places in India. The temple is home to over 20,000 rats. Revolting as it may sound, one is not allowed to kill, hurt, or even scare them away! The Mystery: These rats, or ‘kabbas’, as they’re called there, are considered to be highly auspicious , are worshipped, and safeguarded, which is why they hold more value than the humans visiting the shrine. The Myth: The rats are believed to be the reincarnated relatives and family members of Karni Mata. In fact, the rare, white mice at the place are considered to be her sons. Photos of Sight
