The number of people who believe in Buddha around the world is in billions, who are spread in many countries. Apart from this, there are many countries in the world where huge statues of Buddha are installed and he is worshiped as God. But today we are going to talk about that very special statue of Gautam Buddha, which has changed the way we look at history, art and spirituality.
This very special and grand statue of Gautam Buddha is not made of any common thing, but of solid yellow metal i.e. gold, which was hidden under a layer of clay and plaster for hundreds of years. The story of this magnificent gold statue is as interesting as its shining gold.
In which country are they established? ,golden buddha,
The world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue is known as the Golden Buddha, which is installed in Wat Tramit in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. The height of this statue is about 3 meters and its weight is about 12,125 pounds (about 5,500 kg). The most special thing about this statue is that it is completely made of gold. Even the hair and braid of Buddha are made of gold.
About 83 percent pure gold has been used in making it. However, the purity level of gold varies in many parts of the body. For example, Buddha’s body part is made of about 40 percent pure gold, while his hair and braid are made of about 99 percent pure gold.

If the value of the Golden Buddha is estimated according to the current price of gold, then its value is more than 480 million dollars. Along with this, the design of the Golden Buddha statue also reflects its specific Buddhist science, in which Buddha is sitting in Bhoomisparsh posture. This mudra symbolizes knowledge, victory over lust and ignorance.
Why was the idol hidden under a layer of plaster and mud?
This special statue of Golden Buddha was kept hidden behind a layer of plaster and mud for about 200 years. The secret behind this is that to hide the fact that this statue is made of solid gold and to protect it from being stolen during any possible invasion, it was covered with a thick layer of plaster and colored glass.
