It also carries a four-ton sword.Situated at the new Kempegowda International Airport, the statue is surrounded by a heritage theme park spread over 23 acres of area, both costing about INR 840 million ($10.2 Million) to the government.Sharing a picture of the certificate on Twitter from the World Book of Records, Karnataka State Chief Basavaraj Bommai wrote it's a matter of great pride and the statue standing at 108 feet symbolizes his vision of a Global City.
