Lonely Planet review

In 1927 a Thai Buddhist monk founded the Sakaya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple, usually called the Temple of 1000 Lights. Inside is a 15m-high, 300-tonne Buddha alongside an eclectic collection of deities including Guan Yin, Chinese Goddess of Mercy, and Hindu deities Brahma and Ganesh. At the base of the Buddha's back is a door into a prayer room. Around the Buddha's base are 'Buddha - This Is Your Life!' models - and at least 1000 electric lights.
