Main Hall, Guangji Monastery
Jinzhou, Liaoning, China
The main hall of Guangji Monastery, also known as the Mahavira Hall, was originally built during the Qingning era of the Liao Dynasty but was destroyed in a fire during the early Qing Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the 9th year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty. The hall is situated behind the Guandi Hall, atop a 1.4-meter-high exquisitely carved Sumeru base. The structure features a double-eaved hip-and-gable roof, with a width of seven bays and a depth of three bays. Inside, the hall houses statues of Shakyamuni, Amitabha, the Medicine Buddha, and the Eighteen Arhats.
