Budha Barameedharm chamruslok – Largest sittings Buddha statues in Malaysia
I guess some may not know that in Malaysia there are a large Buddha statues which located in Wat Machimaram, Kelantan.
This statues is the largest in Malaysia… and I heard some rumours that largest in south east asia (I am not very sure about that… just a hearsay)
If you visit kelantan, and interested in local cultures and buildings, you may visit this place. The temple is actually a Buddhis temple in the local siamese community in Kelantan state. However, the statues and the building is more towards chinese art. I think it is because the chinese community contribute a lots in term of monetaries donation when the statues is build so the design is more chinese then siamese design.
The name of the statues is “Budha Barameedharm chamruslok”. The name is actually given by the king of Thailand. Based on the data stated in front of the statues, it is on 3 of may 1991.
I have a few photo of the place, hope you enjoy it.
