EDITORS COMMENTS
Pha That Luang, a sacred and iconic Buddhist temple located in the heart of Vientiane, the capital city of Laos, is home to the magnificent King Setthathirath Statue and the stunning Gold Stupa. This image captures the awe-inspiring beauty and historical significance of this revered religious site. King Setthathirath, also known as Setthathirath I, was a powerful Lao monarch who ruled from 1548 to 1571. He played a crucial role in the unification of the Lao people and the establishment of the Lan Xang Kingdom. The statue, which stands proudly in front of the temple, is a testament to his great leadership and devotion to Buddhism. The Gold Stupa, a major attraction of Pha That Luang, is a three-tiered, gold-covered structure that houses several sacred relics, including a piece of the Buddha's shoulder bone. The stupa's intricate design and shimmering gold exterior reflect the rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions of Laos and the wider Asian region. This photograph, taken by JA from Discover Images by AWL, provides a glimpse into the serene and sacred atmosphere of Pha That Luang. The temple complex, with its lush greenery and peaceful surroundings, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. A must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore the history, culture, and spirituality of South East Asia, Pha That Luang is a true gem in the heart of Vientiane, Laos.
