large, white, seated Buddha statue situated atop a multi-tiered base

large, white, seated Buddha statue situated atop a multi-tiered base. The statue is made of smooth, white material and depicts the Buddha in a meditative pose, with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. He is seated on a lotus flower, which forms the immediate platform for the statue. The lotus base is elaborately sculpted with large, overlapping petals. The base of the statue is constructed from concrete and stone. The main section of the base is hexagonal or octagonal, with a golden band encircling its upper portion. On the sides of this concrete section are decorative elements resembling flames, each framing a circular medallion containing a golden bust of a person. Below this, there is another level of the base with rectangular openings. The entire structure rests on a wide, stepped platform made of dark granite. In the background, a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds is visible. To the left, lush green trees provide a natural contrast to the man-made structure. A few small, red and white decorative elements hang from the lotus petals. This Buddha statue is located at the Long Son Pagoda in Nha Trang, Vietnam. The pagoda is a prominent Buddhist temple famous for its large white Buddha statue, which is the subject of this image.
