The Golden Pagoda is situated on a plateau overlooking the plains near the foothills of the Patkai Range, which is part of the Eastern Himalayas. It is designed and constructed in the Burmese architectural style. The Golden Pagoda complex spans 20 hectares, with the main temple standing on a pedestal of 4272.58 square feet. Pagoda stands at a height of 17.60 metres. The Pagoda is made up of 12 sub domes, with the main and biggest dome located in the centre of the main shrine.
A unique decorative umbrella piece adorns the spire’s top. The Pagoda’s primary doors to the sanctorium are made of wood and hand carved. The pagoda’s whole body is coated in gold paint that shimmers like gold, earning it the name “Golden Pagoda.” The pure Bronze Buddha statue is positioned in a meditative stance inside the shrine hall. Ven Prakhu Pabhavana, Chief monk of Thailand’s Wat Aranjikavas temple, gave the statue.
The shrine hall has four entrances: one on the east, one on the north, one on the west, and one on the south. The hall’s primary entrance faces north. The Buddha statue is oriented northward. The Golden Pagoda complex’s main entrance faces east, the direction in which the Buddha gained Enlightenment. A pair of legendary lions guards each of the shrine hall’s four entrances. A traditional Bell post can be seen on four corners of the main shrine’s outside foundation; Nang Vasundri, the Goddess who is said to watch over human offerings in the temple, Chowsang Siwili in the other corner, and four deity statues in the final corner.
A large shrine hall, a meditation hall, a multipurpose hall, a guest house, a library, a monastery for about 100 Bhikkhus, and housing rooms for monks and novices are all part of the Golden Pagoda complex. Within the complex, there is an old age home as well as a dispensary where locals may receive free medical treatment.
The Golden Pagoda is run by a Board of Members who are continually working to make the gleaming Golden Pagoda one of the finest tourist attractions on the planet in the coming years.
Currently, there are over hundreds of young monks living here, as well as monks from other countries who come for worship, staying for short or long periods of time to share Dhamma lectures and practises on a regular basis.
