Golden Buddha 
It is worth its weight in Gold. Literally. I took this photo at the Wat Traimit temple in Bangkok,Thailand (During my Thai visit in Oct'04). This is the world's largest solid gold buddha image and is worth US$ 14 Million ( Around 65 Crore Indian Rupees). .This image is 3 meters tall & weighs 5.5 ton of solid gold. It gleamed like no other gold artifact I've ever seen.
The image still lingers in my mind or as John Keats said " A thing of beauty is a joy forever" !

Pooja, Yeah I have been to Amritsar. That was another unforgetable place. Particularly seeing the " shadow" of the Golden temple on the Holy Pond !
