Mahadev Foundation is on the southern side of highway 4 = Phetkasem in Nakhon Pathom province, Nakon Chai Sri district, Srisa Thong sub-district; about 500m by air km from Wat Srisa Thong. I passed several time while it was under construction; since 2019 it's complete.

The objective of the foundation is to construct the sacred Buddha statue "the Black Buddha of Nalanda, India" and the 5 Hindu God statues for public devotees to worship and to commemorate their high morality and mercy.
