Big Buddha
Colossal seated figure
Big Buddha refers to any of numerous large Buddha statues found throughout Asia, typically monumental sculptures that serve as religious monuments and tourist attractions.
The term is most associated with specific famous statues: the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong, the Great Buddha of Kamakura in Japan, or Thailand's various massive Buddha images.

The phrase functions as both a proper noun for specific statues and a general descriptor for oversized Buddha sculptures.
