Overview

Also known as the Sakya Muni Gaya Temple, this temple owes its existence to a monk named Vuttisasara. The main feature of this temple is the 15-meter Buddha statue that almost fills the temple's interior. Weighing 300 tonnes, it is draped in gold, green and red cloth. The figure is surrounded by a halo of electric lights that is normally lit in the evenings. Murals highlight milestones in the Buddha's life.
