Stupa of Buddha's Descent from Devaloka - Dehradun

  • 10 years ago
The World Peace Stupa is situated in the Og Min Ogyen Mindrolling Monastery. It is a reflection of the Mindroling monastery which was established in 1676 in the Drach Valley in todays Tibet. It is 185 feet tall and 100 square feet wide. It is acclaimed to be the largest stupa of the world! The Stupa adorns the statue of Maitreya who is seen above the steps where the present Buddha Sakyamuni resides.

The stupa looks stupendous surrounded by a nice flat park with mini-stupas indicating importance of the architecture and the builder e.g. the one on the left is a replica of the one built by King Bimbisara.

Inside the monastery are fantastic murals of buddhist art and relics. There are different such painting and relics at different levels of the Stupa - however during my visit they were closed due to the congregation. Only the first level was open which held the seat of the congregation and adorned the beautiful statue of Padmasambhava.
