This magnificent golden statue of a seated Buddha can be found at the sacred site of Phnom Sampeau, near Battambang in Cambodia. Representing Buddhist serenity and wisdom, this work of art impresses pilgrims and travellers alike who come to admire its beauty and spiritual symbolism. Protected by a simple shelter, the Buddha stands majestically on a base decorated with engravings and inscriptions in Khmer, underlining its religious importance.
Surrounded by lush vegetation, the site invites contemplation and meditation, with a peaceful atmosphere amplified by birdsong and the gentle breeze. Phnom Sampeau is also known for its caves, which bear a strong historical imprint, providing a striking contrast to the tranquillity of this golden statue. Accessed via a path dotted with shrines, the summit offers exceptional panoramic views over the Cambodian countryside, making the visit even more memorable.
