Konpon Dait艒

Kii Peninsula

LoginSave

The most interesting structure at the Garan is the Konpon Dait艒, a 50m-tall, bright-vermilion pagoda seated at what is considered to be the centre of the lotus-flower mandala formed by K艒ya-san's eight mountains. The main object of worship is Dainichi-ny艒rai (Cosmic Buddha), surrounded by four attendant Buddhas and, painted on pillars, 16 bodhisattva, which together compose a three-dimensional mandala of the Shingon Buddhist cosmos.

Originally, it's said, the pillars were painted by K艒b艒 Daishi himself; the current building (and paintings) date to 1934.
