This Sitting Buddha Image is curved out from a single marble stone. The giant marble stone was found in the Sakyin region, Medaya Township in Mandalay Division. The draft sculpture was carried through the Ayeyarwaddy river down to Yangon. Then it was finally touched up. The sculpting and the enshrining got completed in 2008 and located in Insein, Yangon. The image is encased in a climate controlled glass room to prevent the damage caused by changes in temperature, but due to the reflection in the glass it may be hard to take a good photo of the image from time to time. The image has the left hand resting on the lap while the right hand is raised with the palm facing outwards, representing Abhayamudra, the gesture of fearlessness and reassurance.
