A 369-foot-tall Viswas Swaroopam Shiva Statue at Nathdwara in
Rajasthan is now the tallest statue of
Mahadev Shiva in the world. The statue has been constructed by Tat Padam
Sansthan.
Installed on a hilltop over an expanse of 51 bighas, the
statue is styled in a posture of meditation, and is said to be visible from 20
kilometers away. Lifts, stairs, and hall are part of the structure.
Three thousand tonnes of steel and iron, 2.5 lakh cubic
tonnes of concrete and sand have been used in its construction, which took 10
years to complete.
The copper-coloured statue has been coated with zinc alloy
to protect it from rain and sun.
