Agar aap kabhi Thailand gaye hain ya wahan jaane ka plan bana rahe hain, toh aapne shayad “Big Buddha” ke baare mein zaroor suna hoga. Yeh ek iconic monument hai jo Phuket island par sthit hai aur har saal hazaron tourists aur devotees ko apni taraf akarshit karta hai.
Big Buddha, jo ki “Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol Eknakiri” ke naam se bhi jaana jata hai, Phuket ke Nakkerd Hills par sthit hai. Yeh prachin aur bhavy murti 45 meter (approximately 148 feet) unchi hai aur pure white Burmese marble se bani hui hai, jo ise ek divine aur shantimay aakarshan deti hai. Yeh murti 2004 mein banani shuru hui thi aur aaj bhi kuch chhoti-moti finishing par kaam hota rehta hai.
Agar aap Phuket mein hain aur Big Buddha dekhna chahte hain, toh aapko Chalong ya Karon se ek short drive karni hogi. Yeh jagah easily accessible hai aur aap ya toh apni rental car, bike ya tuk-tuk ke through yahan pahunch sakte hain. Jaise hi aap top par pahunchte hain, wahan se milega ek breathtaking 360-degree view jo poore Phuket, Andaman Sea aur aaspaas ke islands ko dikhata hai.
Yeh sirf ek tourist attraction nahi, balki ek dharmik sthal bhi hai. Yahaan par aane wale log sirf photography ya sightseeing ke liye nahi, balki spiritual shanti aur meditation ke liye bhi aate hain. Big Buddha ke aaspaas ek chhota temple complex bhi hai jahan aap local Buddhist monks se blessings le sakte hain. Yahan par ek peaceful environment hota hai jo kisi bhi visitor ke mann ko shanti se bhar deta hai.
Agar aap sunrise ya sunset ke time par yahan aate hain, toh yeh experience aur bhi mesmerizing ho jata hai. Suraj ki roshni jab is safed marble par padti hai, toh yeh murti ek divine glow leti hai jo dekhne laayak hota hai.
Agar aap Phuket gaye aur Big Buddha nahi dekha, toh samajh lijiye aapne ek bada cultural aur spiritual experience miss kar diya. Yeh jagah sirf ek statue nahi, balki ek aisi location hai jo aapko andar se sukoon dene ka kaam karti hai. So, next time jab aap Phuket jaane ka plan banayein, toh Big Buddha ko apni must-visit list mein zaroor shamil karein!
