Laykyun Sekkya

The Laykyun Sekkya Buddha (Burmese: လေးကျွန်းစကြာ) is a colossal statue depicting the Buddha which is located at the Monywa town of Sagaing Region. As of 2018, it is the third-tallest statue in the world at 116 metres (381 ft).

This statue of Gautama Buddha stands on a 115.8-metre (380 ft) throne located in the village of Khatakan Taung, near Monywa, Myanmar. Construction began in 1996 and it was completed on 21 February 2008. It was commissioned by the Chief Abbot Ven. Nãradã.[citation needed] It was the tallest statue in the world for a few months until the completion of the Spring Temple Buddha in September 2008. The Laykyun Sekkya statue depicts a standing Gautama Buddha next to a reclining statue of Gautama Buddha, depicting the scene of Mahaparinirvana (Mahaparinibbana).
