The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) will construct the world’s largest statue of Maharana Pratap at the historic Haldighati site in Rajasthan.
The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) has received the mandate to erect a colossal statue of the 16th‑century Rajput hero Maharana Pratap. The monument, described as the world’s largest of its kind, will be installed at Haldighati, the historic battlefield in Rajasthan where the famed 1576 clash with the Mughal forces took place.
The project underscores the state’s effort to commemorate its heritage and boost cultural tourism. While detailed specifications have not been disclosed, officials say the statue will be a landmark visible from major approaches to the site.
NBCC, a central public sector undertaking, will oversee design, fabrication and installation, coordinating with the Rajasthan government’s heritage department. The timeline for completion has not been announced, but the initiative is expected to generate local employment and attract visitors from across the country.
The move follows a broader trend of large‑scale heritage projects aimed at reinforcing regional identity and promoting economic development through tourism.
