The Statue of Unity is a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a leader who played a big role in India's history. It stands tall on an island called Sadhu Bet, near the Sardar Sarovar Dam, about 100 kilometers southeast of Vadodara. It's the tallest statue in the world at 182 meters, taller than China's Spring Temple Buddha.
