A still image from video shows an artist's rendering of a statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, to be constructed in the western Indian state of Gujarat, in this handout provided by Information Department Gujarat State October 31, 2013. Indian opposition leader Narendra Modi is building the world's tallest statue at a cost of almost $340 million in honour of one of the country's founding fathers, a project he is using to undermine his chief rivals, the Gandhi-Nehru political dynasty. The statue of Patel, who was first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's deputy and his interior minister but often at odds with him, is to be built on a river island in Gujarat, the home state of both Patel and Modi.

德新社報導稱,印度開始建造世界規模最大的塑像,高度達182米,相當於美國紐約自由女神像的四倍。這個全身鍍銅的塑像將在數年內完工,旨在紀念自由戰士、印度首任內政部長帕特爾(Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel)。這座被稱為「統一雕像」的紀念建築選址古吉拉特邦納爾默達河的一座島嶼上,本周四(10月31日)正式開工。建造方呼籲全國農民貢獻農具上的鐵質零件,以供修建塑像。
這座塑像建成後將成為世界最大之一,在此之前世界最大塑像為2002年竣工的中國河南佛泉寺大佛(中原大佛),該佛像高達128米,加上底座高度更是達到153米。
