Description: |
|
With the huge and grandiose name of Phra Buddha Metta Pracha
Thai Trailokanath Gandhararath Anusorn, this impressive Buddha
statue is in Kanchanaburi’s modern temple of Wat
Thipsukhontharam. The statue is standing with its hands in the
position known as “abhaya”; this posture is one of protection
and fearlessness and is based on a Buddhist tale of the Lord
Buddha stopping a charging elephant by raising his hand. The
statue’s face is exceptionally serene. Cast from bronze and
standing at more than 30 metres tall, it is Thailand’s biggest
standing bronze Buddha statue. |
