Ketumati (Ch'ih-t'ou)^[1] is a legendary place in some Buddhist traditions viewed as the earthly paradise of the prophesied figure called Maitreya, who is the future Buddha.^[2] 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.^[1] 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.^[3] It is referenced in the Cakkavatti Sīhanāda Sutta.^[4]
