A 17 meter tall statue of Maidar
is planned for the Dashchoilon Monastery.
The lamas of the monastery
have announced plans for a six-story building to house the statue. Previous
plans to build the statue in 1995 had to be abandoned when it was not
possible to secure building materials.
While construction of the building
will be performed by local builders, the statue will be created in China.
The enormous statue will include rosary beads weighing from 45 kg. to
96 kg.
Money will be raised for the
project from many sources including ticket sales to view a model of
the statue at the wrestler’s palace.
