Eiffel Tower and Qutub Minar are known all over the world for their height. People go from far and wide to see them, but do you know that in our country there is such a statue of Lord Shiva in front of which these big buildings look small. So let us know today where that statue is and how it was constructed.
Here is the world’s largest statue of Lord Shiva
The largest statue of Lord Shiva is built on the Ganesh Tekri hill of Nathdwara. This tallest statue of the world is very amazing. It seems as if Lord Shiva is sitting here in meditation posture. You may hardly be able to see him in this form anywhere else. This tallest statue of Lord Shiva has been prepared by sculptor Naresh Kumar, resident of Pilani, Rajasthan.
What is the height of the statue?
The height of the world’s tallest statue of Lord Shiva, built on the Ganesh Tekri hill of Nathdwara, is 369. Earlier it was decided to make this statue 251 feet high, but later it was decided to increase its height to 351 feet. After being prepared at such a height, after drafting the idea of installing the water stream of Ganga, its size reached 369 feet. In this way it became the tallest statue in the world.
What is the specialty of the statue?
This statue has been made using 30,000 tonnes of Panchdhatu. For which 90 engineers and 900 artisans have worked together. You will see this statue from a distance of 20 kilometers only. A 25 feet high and 37 feet wide Nandi has also been made in front of this statue. About Rs 300 crores have been spent in preparing this idol of Lord Shiva. The foundation of which was laid by Morari Bapu 10 years ago. The special thing is that this statue has been prepared in such a way that even a storm and hailstorm moving at a speed of 250 kilometers will have no effect on this statue. Which has also been tested in the lab of Australia.
Eiffel Tower and Qutub Minar are also sown
The height of this statue can be estimated from the fact that in front of its 369 feet height, buildings like the 300 meter tall Eiffel Tower and the 72 meter high Qutub Minar also appear.
