This image shows the Statue of Unity. It is the world's tallest statue - said to be almost twice the size of the Statue of Liberty. It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel a highly respected leader of India.
It is said to have cost $360 million to build and took five years to complete. Certainly a marvel of the modern world and a fitting tribute to a great man.

@SW-User Sounds good until you realize that each person would probably have got less than a dollar's worth. I agree with the sentiment though, good works are better than monuments.
