Peace Pagoda, Darjeeling, Buddhist monument on Jalapahar Hills in Darjeeling, India.

The white Peace Pagoda stands 28.5 meters tall with a diameter of 23 meters on the slopes of Jalapahar Hills in Darjeeling.

The foundation stone was placed by Japanese Buddhist monk Nichidatsu Fujii in 1972, and the structure opened to the public in November 1992.

The pagoda displays four distinct Buddha statues in different positions - sitting, standing, sleeping, and meditating - each covered in gold polish.

Visitors can access the pagoda daily from 4:30 AM to 7:00 PM without entry fees, with morning and evening prayer sessions occurring twice daily.

From the pagoda's position, visitors observe the Kanchenjunga peaks while concrete lions guard the entrance stairs leading to the main structure.
