The 369-foot “Vishwas Swarpoopam” also called Statue of Belief, the largest Shiva statue in the world will be unveiled in Rajasthan’s Rajsamand region.
The weight of the Statue of belief is 30,000 tonnes and its height is 369 feet.
Specialties
The highest Shiva statue in the world has a unique area of expertise. During construction, about 3,000 tonnes of steel & iron, 2.5 lakh cubic tonnes of concrete, and sand were used. The statue is wind-resistant up to a speed of 250 kph. The statue, which is situated atop a hill with 51 bighas, took ten years to build.
The project’s cornerstone was laid in August 2012 by Morari Bapu and Ashok Gehlot, who was the CM at the time. The statue’s height eventually reached 351 feet during construction, despite the fact that its original 2012 design was for a 251-foot height. Shiva’s statue’s matted hair was given a Ganga stream, resulting in a further height rise to 369 feet. The statue has amenities like corridors, staircases, and elevators.
