| Description |
Wat Pho is a Buddhist temple in Phra Nakhon district, Bangkok, Thailand. It is also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is named after a monastery in India where Buddha is believed to have lived. Wat Pho is one of the largest and oldest wats in Bangkok (with an area of 80,000 square metres), and is home to more than one thousand Buddha images, as well as one of the largest single Buddha images: the Reclining Buddha. The image of reclining Buddha is 15 m high and 43 m long with his right arm supporting the head with tight curls on two box-pillows of blue, richly encrusted with glass mosaics. The 3 m high and 4.5 m long foot of Buddha displays are inlaid with mother-of-pearl. They are divided into 108 arranged panels, displaying the auspicious symbols by which Buddha can be identified like flowers, dancers, white elephants, tigers and altar accessories. Over the statue is a seven tiered umbrella representing the authority of Thailand. (From Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho) |
