Upar Wala Sab Dekh Raha Hai: Statue of Unity as Seen From Space

Even though upar wala is mighty impressed looking at the Statue of Unity, he has some concerns too, we are told

Did you know that the Statue of Unity — the mammoth statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel — is now visible from space?

If not, I am afraid dear reader, that it’s ‘heights’ of ignorance!

To kahaani yeh hai that the 182-metre-tall statue —which is twice the size of the Statue of Liberty and the tallest statue in the world — can now also boast of ‘universal’ appeal! Not only can it be viewed from the banks of the Narmada river — but also reportedly from anywhere in the antriksh.

At 597 feet, India’s Statue of Unity is now the tallest statue in the world and clearly seen from space! Oblique SkySat image captured today, November 15, 2018. pic.twitter.com/FkpVoHJKjw
