I was pleasantly surprised by Window of the World https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_of_the_World when I visited there some time ago. Many of the models, such as that one, are excellent reproductions.
At Legoland, they also have mini reproductions of the major sites of the world, all in legos. I've been to the one in San Diego. They are all over the world, as you probably already know. They didn't have a Maha Bodhi replica yet, at least when I was there. I'll have to start a campaign for that one day.
Unfortunately, as I noted with some amusement at the time, whoever organised the Oceania area was very confused about Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Pacific people in general...
That is bizarre, but then again, does New Zealand even exist?

Very beautiful. Very good architectural details with the 3-d designs on the slender pyramids. This is definitely one of my favorite replicas that I've seen.
