In the southern province of An Giang, the Maitreya Buddha statue on top of Thien Cam Mountain has been named the largest of its kind in Asia. Built between 2004 – 2006 by 60 artisans, the over-sized statue features the telltale smile and belly of a Maitreya Buddha.
North-east of the Thien Cam mountain in Binh Thuan province, a giant Buddha Entering Nirvana is also receiving recognition as the longest Buddha on top of a mountain. Located on Ta Cu Mountain the monument was built between 1966 – 1969. It shows Buddha in the lying position, with the back against the cliff.
The Indian-based Asian Records Organization is expected to visit the two statues at the end of April to award their respective certifications.
