During the Occupation of Japanese it was moved to its present location, Hongseong-eup Eupha-ri. This statue has its hands in the jigwonin position, Both hands are gathered at the chest and the index finger of the left hand is covered by the right hand. This was typical of Vairocana symbolizing truth. The back halo is ship-shaped. On both lower part of the halo a standin Bodhisattva is embossed indicating that it was intended to be in the form samjon-hveongsik which has two images of Bodhisattva ; one on each of the two sides, centering around the Buddhist image.
