Hyderabad is set to unveil the tallest statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the world. The statue, which will stand at an impressive height at Bapu Ghat, is a key element of his ambitious project to rejuvenate the Musi river. This project aims to inspire future generations by highlighting Gandhi’s contributions to India’s independence movement.
The location of the statue will make it accessible to both residents and tourists. The site is expected to become a major attraction, drawing visitors from across the country and around the globe.
The construction process involves thorough planning and the use of advanced technology to ensure the statue’s durability and aesthetic appeal. Currently, Patna holds the record for tallest statue of Mahatma Gandhi in India, which is 72 feet and made of bronze. The one in Hyderabad will surpass it.
Local authorities have collaborated with artists and engineers to ensure that the statue accurately represents Gandhi’s likeness and embodies the principles he stood for. The initiative is part of a broader effort to promote cultural tourism in Hyderabad, which already boasts several historical and architectural marvels.
Officials said Chief Minister of Telangana Revanth Reddy envisions transforming Bapu Ghat into a symbol of brotherhood, world peace, and a centre for spirituality and education.
The unveiling ceremony is anticipated to be a grand event, with dignitaries, historians, and Gandhi’s followers in attendance. It will serve as a reminder of his enduring influence and the values of peace and non-violence that he championed.
