A Grand Tribute to India’s First President – Right from His Homeland

In a move set to rewrite history, Bihar Government has announced the construction of a 243-meter tall statue of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, India’s first President and a proud son of Bihar. This monument will stand tall on Patna’s Marine Drive, making it the tallest statue dedicated to any freedom fighter in the world.

This project is not just about architecture—it's about reviving legacy, inspiring youth, and putting Bihar back on the global map.

📍 Why 243 Meters?

  • 243 is not a random number—it symbolizes India’s parliamentary strength with 243 seats in the Bihar Legislative Assembly.

  • It also surpasses the Statue of Unity (182m) by a huge margin, making it a global symbol of India’s democratic roots.
