English translation:

In order to preserve Buddhism for world peace, thousands of Buddha statues can be seen outside of the Chaitya, to build a Sangetod Chaitya as a model in Nepal. No. Construction started in 2057. This chaitya, which was made by collecting donations from Buddhist devotees, has 228 Buddha statues in the middle part, 4 stone jade chaityas with Panchabuddha statues in the four corners, 20 Panchabuddha statues of 4 of 51 inches and 16 of 18 inches, 1024 Buddha statues of 6 inches and lower 4 Chatur Maharaj statues of 24 inches on all four sides with a total of 1,276 copper and gold jalap statues and 109 stone Buddha statues on the lower side, a total of 1,385 statues have been installed on the outer surface of the Chaitya. There are 93 Mane Lhagours in the lower part of the Chaitya and various images of Buddha behind the Mane Lhagore, a large Mane Ghungyur inside the Chaitya, an 11-foot Lokeshwar statue and Manjushree and Bhairava statues are installed on the right and left of the Lokeshwar statue respectively and artistically decorated by painting pictures of Buddha on the walls. No. The construction of this chaitya was completed in 2060 and was successfully inaugurated by the Manyawa Lama Serap Gyalchen Rinpoche of Manang.

Thus, since there are thousands of idols in this Sangetod Chaitya, we believe that the devotees will be able to get a lot of merit. May everyone be well.
