Ketumati

Ketumati (Ch'ih-t'ou)[1] is a legendary place in some Buddhist traditions related to the cult of Maitreya. It is the earthly paradise of Maitreya, the future Buddha.[2] Devotees of the cult 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.[1] He will also bring a Utopian era upon his devotees. Ketumati is sometimes associated with the city of Banaras in Uttar Pradesh, India.[3]
