Whether they're as large as a building or fit on a mantelpiece, statues have long graced public and private spaces. Check out Shanti Ban Buddha and tick a famous piece of artwork off your must-see list.

This work of art is often on the itineraries of visitors to Godāvari. But Shanti Ban Buddha isn't the only drawcard in the area. Kathmandu University School of Management, Pottery Square, and Siddha Pokhari are some other worthwhile sights close by.
