The Bai Dinh Pagoda in northern Vietnam’s Ninh Binh province which is under construction promises to be the largest pagoda in the country boasting the most records including the heaviest Buddha statue and bell in Southeast Asia in addition to 500 arhat statutes 2m tall.
Located in Gia Sinh Commune, Gia Vien District, the half-finished pagoda is already receiving flocks of visitors daily despite being surrounded by scaffoldings and 500 masons working around the clock.
One of its temples is to house a 100-ton statue of the Great Buddha which is the heaviest of its kind in Southeast Asia while the other will feature three 50-ton Buddha statues.
The four were cast from Russian-made copper by renowned artists from Nam Dinh province.
The pagoda will also be home to two large bronze bells 27 ton and 36 tons, designed by famous artisans in Hue City.
The former was brought to the construction site two years ago and has sat on a hilltop ever since while the other, 36 tons and 5.4m high, is the biggest bronze bell in Southeast Asia.
