The statue is so big that there is no need to use any zoom... jacko1 - Apr, 26 2009 07:04am What are the approximate dimensions of this statue?. jacko1 - Apr, 26 2009 07:04am What are the approximate dimensions of this statue?. antonioagui - Apr, 26 2009 08:04am It's about 15 meters tall, and took four years to be built. Once it was, Dalai Lama himself visited Thiksey. Just to have an idea, I remember that the ear you can see on the picture was as big as me! jacko1 - Apr, 26 2009 10:04am Thank you, I am always curious about detail.
