Kuakata Buddhist Temple
Beste tid å besøke
Early morning from 6 to 8 is ideal because you will see the sunrise over the Bay of Bengal and avoid the midday heat. During a full moon, it is worth visiting in the evening to experience the traditional lamp lighting.
Budsjettips
Entry to the temple is free, but it is worth donating a small amount for the temple's maintenance. The nearest ATM is in Patuakhali city, 30 km away, so bring cash with you.
Anbefalt for
Nature photographers, Those seeking peace of mind, Culture enthusiasts, Meditators

Om
Raske fakta: Dette er Bangladeshs eneste buddhistiske tempel som ligger rett ved sjøen, og gir fantastiske soloppganger og solnedganger på samme sted. Templets 100 fot høye statue er synlig fra havet flere kilometer unna og leder båter trygt til kysten.
Høydepunkter: Hver fullmånenatt opplyser munkene hele tempelområdet med tusenvis av oljelamper, og skaper et drømmeaktig lyshav ved sjøen. Denne 200 år gamle tradisjonen samler både buddhistiske pilegrimer og lokale fiskere, som tror at tenning av lampene bringer hell når de drar til sjøs.
Insidertips
- Wear pants or a long skirt that covers the knees - this is an active place of worship
- The best photo opportunity is early in the morning when the first rays of the sun hit the white statue and the sea is calm
- The small sand path behind the temple leads to an abandoned fishing village where you can buy freshly smoked fish
- Avoid visiting during Bangladeshi holidays because the temple courtyard is then crowded with people and the peaceful atmosphere disappears
