Buddha Dordenma statue, Bronze Buddha statue in Thimphu, Bhutan.
The Buddha Dordenma stands 51 meters tall on a mountain, covered in gold and overlooking the Thimphu valley from its three-story base structure.
The construction of this monument began in 2006 and reached completion in September 2015, marking the 60th anniversary of Bhutan's fourth king Jigme Singye Wangchuck.
The meditation hall within the base contains thousands of Buddha figurines, while the main statue houses 125,000 smaller bronze Buddha statues in its interior.
Visitors can reach the statue through a paved road called Buddha Point, which includes facilities such as outdoor gymnasiums in the surrounding nature park.
