The two massive, multicoloured statues are bound to catch any visitor’s eye at the very instant they enter the temple. The first of these statues is the Chinese Goddess of Mercy Compassion and Mercy- Guanyin, who is known as the protector of poor and the sick as well as children and women. The other statue- laughing Chinese Buddha has quite an interesting appearance. Painted in eye catching colours such as gold, red and white, this statue is said to represent prosperity and wealth.
