Ketumati
Ketumati (Ch'ih-t'ou) is a legendary place in some Buddhist traditions related to the prophecied Buddha called Maitreya. It is the earthly paradise of Maitreya, the future Buddha. Devotees of Maitreya believe that the kingdom is a pure land where Maitreya and his future parents will preside upon his descent from the Tusita Heaven to Earth. They believe that he will also bring a utopian era upon his devotees. Ketumati is sometimes associated with the city of Banaras in Uttar Pradesh, India.
