Description
Come and experience the spiritual bliss of Nathdwara by witnessing the divine power of belief and capturing the incredible views of Rajasthan. The 'Statue of Belief' is an awe-inspiring 369 feet tall art of Lord Shiva located in Nathdwara, Rajasthan. It is one of the largest Shiva statues in the world and among the five largest statues worldwide. This holy town near Udaipur is now another great reason for pilgrims to visit!
The project was envisioned by Mr. Madan Paliwal, Chairman of Miraj Group, Udaipur, and created by the renowned studio Maturam Art, with Skeleton Consultants rendering the structural design. Shapoorji Pallonji E&C had the contract for constructing the Statue and other amenities. Standing at a towering 369ft, the Vishwas Swaroopam is an awe-inspiring Shiva statue that can be spotted from up to 20km away! It took 750 skilled workers 10 years to complete this impressive structure, with the foundation stone laid in 2012. The statue, which includes a 34m high pedestal, reaches a height of 112m.
The surface has been coated with zinc to increase its longevity of 250 years and finished with copper, sculpted into Shiva's exact details, expressions, features, and emotions. The Statue is built to withstand wind speeds up to 250 kmph and earthquakes of Zone IV intensity, despite Nathdwara being in Zone II.
