Summary[edit]

Description
English: The standing Buddha image in the central shrine has his right hand raised in abhaya mudra ("fear-not.") It is flanked by two smaller images (not shown), also standing, in dharmachakra ("turning the Wheel of the Law," i.e. the Buddha's First Sermon) mudra. The statue is original but, as in most temples, its gilding has been renewed many times, thus obscuring the image's original features. The painted naga hood, which refers to the founding legend of the temple, is a modern addition. Even more alarming is the modern whitewash, which might even cover up some original paintwork. The photo was taken in 2004.
