The ‘Statue of liberty’ installed
The statue of liberty stands on the Liberty Island, New York. It symbolises liberation from oppression and tyranny. The people of France gifted the Statue to the people of the United State in recognition of the friendship established during the America revolution. The statue is also known as Lady Liberty or Liberty Enlightening the World. It is the statue of a woman in a robe holding aloft a torch in her right hand symbolizing the light of freedom. In her left hand is a tablet bearing the words JULY IV MDCCLXXVI, ie., 4th July 1776, the date of American Independence. Broken chains lie at her feet symbolising freedom. The height of the statue is 93m from the ground to the tip of the torch. It has 16 powerful lamps arranged around the rim of the torch which glow at night.
