Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ananda was constructed around 1105, and restored in 1783. It is built on the plan of a Greek cross (i.e. with four equal arms), with one major image in each of the four interior shrines. The statues are about 9' tall, and made of gilded wood. They represent the four so-called "historical" buddhas of the present age. The first three of these buddhas are legendary. The fourth and latest, Siddhartha Gautama, is a real person who lived from 563 to 483 BC and is the founder of Buddhism. It is also believed that a fifth buddha - Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future - will appear in the future, after

the teachings of the present Buddha (Siddhartha) have been lost.

The statues in the north and south shrines are original (1105);

the other two were restored in the 18th century.
