Shechen Buddhist temple

While Shravasti boasts a rich history as the place where Buddha spent 25 rainy seasons and delivered many important sermons, the Buddha's Statue is a modern creation. Built to enhance the spiritual significance and attract more visitors to the area, it represents a contemporary effort to preserve and promote Buddhist heritage. The statue's construction involved skilled artisans and significant resources, reflecting the devotion and commitment of the Buddhist community. Although it lacks the ancient history of other sites in Shravasti, the statue serves as a visual representation of the enduring legacy of Buddhism and its continued relevance in the modern world. It acts as a focal point for pilgrims and a symbol of Shravasti's importance in Buddhist history.
