Its main hall is a multi-story palace-style building in the Korean tradition and is one of the largest structures in the Lumbini zone. Inside, the painted brackets and Buddha statues are imposing. The exterior is maintained year-round by Korean monks and volunteers. The temple offers simple accommodation and vegetarian meals for pilgrims.
