The Spring Temple Buddha , a statue of Buddha located in the Zhaocun township of Lushan County, Henan, China,  is the tallest statue in the world.

At 128 m (420 ft), which includes a 20 m (66 ft) lotus throne, it is the tallest statue in the world. When the 25 m (82 ft) pedestal/building it is placed upon is taken into account, the monument has a total height of 153 m (502 ft). As of October 2008, the hill on which the statue stands is being reshaped to form two further pedestals, the upper one being 15 m tall. The total height of the monument is now said to be 208 m. The statue was completed in 2002.

Plans for its construction were announced soon after construction had begun on the Maitreya Project by Indian and British planners in Bihar, Northern India, which set out to be the world’s largest statue itself.

The project as a whole was estimated to cost around $55m, $18m of which being spent on the statue. It was originally estimated to consist of 1,100 pieces of copper cast, with a total weight of 1,000 tonnes. Plans of the construction of the Spring Temple Buddha were announced soon after the blowing up of the Bamiyan Buddhas by the Taliban in Afghanistan. China has condemned the systematic destruction of the Buddhist heritage of Afghanistan.

The Spring Temple Buddha derives its name from the nearby Tianrui hot spring, which spews water at 60 °C and is renowned in the area for its curative properties.

India  to build tallest statue in the world

The Indian state of Gujarat has invited bidders from around the world to help build what they say would be the world's tallest statue.
The latest issue of the Economist magazine has a full-page advertisement inviting tenders for the project.

At 182m (597ft) the statue would be a memorial to Indian Independence hero Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and twice as high as New York's Statue of Liberty.

The tallest statue in the world is China's Spring Temple Buddha at 128m.

The projected is expected to cost $266m (£162m) and proposals have to be submitted by 11 July.

Sardar Patel, generally called the "Iron Man of India", played a major role in the country's fight for independence from British rule.
He was a close friend and ally of Mahatma Gandhi and became the first home minister of independent India
