Commenters couldn't help but share their amusement, offering humorous takes on the situation. One individual quipped about the possibility of the replica being mistaken for a water tank, given Punjab's penchant for quirky water tank designs resembling airplanes and other objects. Another commenter wryly observed the irony of being able to visit the Statue of Liberty without needing a visa, albeit in Punjab.
Adding to the conversation, another commenter shared insights from their cultural research in Punjab, revealing that such eccentric rooftop installations are a common sight and often serve as status symbols for families with members residing abroad.
In a lighter vein, one commenter jokingly suggested that the newfound replica could become a local attraction, sparing residents the need to travel to New York to see the iconic landmark.

As for the Statue of Liberty itself, towering at 305 feet, it symbolizes the enduring bond between the United States and France. Crafted in Paris by renowned sculptor Bartholdi and engineered by Gustave Eiffel, the monument is a testament to liberty and friendship.
