STATUE OF LORD BUDDHA WITH GOLDEN LIPS

The Phra Buddha Bharameedharm Chamruslok Temple was really an hidden gem of both Malaysia and Kelanthan.The statue present here is the most biggest one, with golden lips in the whole South East Asia which is located 1km away from the place called Kota Bahru,the capital of Islamic state of Kelantan.

It is very hard and shocking to believe that, in the same city of kelantan there are 3 amazing and beautiful Buddhist temples. There are also some temples like Sitting Buddha at Phra Buddha Bharameedharm Chamruslok Temple and the Sleeping Buddha at Wat Polithivan. The Phra Buddha Bharameedharm Chamruslok Temple is near Tumpat and is very near to Sleeping Buddha at Polithivan. The actual meaning of Phra Buddha Bharameedharm Chamruslok is “Light of the Buddha’s Dhamma Enlightens the World”, and it is been granted by King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand on July 7, 1993.

While you are in drive, you can’t miss that statue which is sitting tall with 30 meters height, 22meters height on a lotus base of 47.5 meters.



Surprisingly, there is no much data or knowledge about this temple. Nevertheless if we see and notice the Buddha statue carefully, the lips are actually gold in colour. I was told that it is made of gold or gold plated by a local person in Kelantan.

It is very surprising to know that there are many temples of Buddha and there is a great availability of Chinese food though kelantan is an Islamic state. The best to way to travel to kelantan is through plane.

Have a visit to Malaysia to see this great temple and also try to visit Florida to see more and more great places and try to book a Florida villa over there ...
