In 2011, I photographed the face of the Buddha Dordenma at Kuenselphodrang, as the scaffolding to mount the Third Eye was being dismantled by the Chinese workers. That was when I noticed the scar on the left face and ear of the Buddha.
Scars on the face and ear of Buddha Dordenma
I brought the matter to the attention of the then Prime Minister JYT with an appeal to order the correction of the flaw. The Buddha Dordenma project is a monumental project and such shoddy work cannot be accepted. The serene face of the Buddha should not have scars on it.
The Lyoenchen called the Lama or some person who was in charge to explain the shoddy work.
I am told that the Lama or the person in charge responded to the Lyonchen saying that the flaw became visible because I had a very good set of camera gear.
To the person, it did not matter that there was a flaw – what mattered was that the flaw was detected only because I had a good set of camera gear.
Strange way of thinking.
