Giant Buddha statue at Thimphu

Buddha Dordenma statue at Thimphu, Bhutan The 51.5 meters bronze statue of Gautam Buddha at Thimphu , Bhutan is an imposing structure. It cannot be visualized without seeing it in real life. It was crafted in China and brought to Bhutan in distinct pieces to be assembled at site. While the structure is imposing with the necessary grandeur, I doubt if this comes close to the serenity of Buddha which can be experienced in several monasteries.
