The Sacred Area of Chiang Mai !

by Kazu

So many ribbons were hung from the ceiling of Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It seemed to be expressing the rainfall in sevnth heaven .The rain is called "Kanro".
that means "sweet rain drop" in Japanese.

The tower  base on the Buddhas bones was huge. The tower part was broken by the earthquake many yers ago. There was a tower of 80 meters high on the huge building.

There were the sculptures of elephants as if they emerged from the wall of the building. The stairs seemed to be guarded by the dragons on the handrails beside the stairs.
