Why go
The statue’s open-air presence distinguishes it from Buddha images encountered inside dark halls. Walk around it to appreciate the scale and workmanship before settling on a frontal view. The temple’s interpretation explains both the figure’s religious meaning and construction, giving a short visit more substance than the familiar souvenir photograph.
