The '''Buddha Park of Ravangla''', also known as '''Tathagata Tsal''', is situated near [[Ravangla]] in [[South Sikkim district]] of the Indian state of [[Sikkim]]. It was constructed between 2006 and 2013, and features a {{convert|130|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} statue of the [[Buddha]], erected to mark the 2550th [[Buddha's Birthday|anniversary of the birth of Gautama Buddha]], as its main attraction. The site was chosen within the larger religious complex of Rabong Monastery, itself a centuries-old place of pilgrimage. Also nearby is [[Ralang Monastery]], a key monastery in [[Tibetan Buddhism]].
Built and installed through the joint efforts of the government and people of Sikkim, the statue was consecrated on 25 March 2013 by the [[14th Dalai Lama]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://www.tibetsun.com/news/2013/03/25/dalai-lama-to-consecrate-buddha-park-in-sikkim |title=Dalai Lama to consecrate Buddha Park in Sikkim .:.
