The #BuddhaPark of #Ravangla, also known as Tathagata Tsal, is situated near Ravangla in South #Sikkim district of the Indian state of Sikkim. It was constructed between 2006 and 2013, and features a 130-foot-high (40 m) statue of the Buddha, erected to mark the 2550th anniversary of the birth of #GautamaBuddha, as its main attraction. The site was chosen within the larger religious complex of #RabongMonastery, itself a centuries-old place of pilgrimage. Also nearby is #RalangMonastery, a key monastery in #TibetanBuddhism. Built and installed through the joint efforts of the government and people of Sikkim, the statue was consecrated in 25 March 2013 by the 14th Dalai Lama. The Buddhist circuit of the park was built under a state government project, intended to boost pilgrimage and tourism to the region. The Cho Djo lake is located within the complex, surrounded by forest. The park has a tranquil setting with spacious pathways, and there is a Buddhist conclave, a meditation centre and a museum with a spiral gallery. https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1LS8vBlUS/?igshid=kvlgdacrqvgo
