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.
