Chedis at Ayuthhaya

I shot these beautiful Chedis at Ayutthaya in thailand. The war with Burma destroyed all the whole capital city before the present kings moved it from Ayuthayya . 33 Kings have ruled this ancient capital of Siam

I had broken my 18-35 MM lens so I was only depending on 70-300 Sigma lens and 60 MM Macro Canon USM lens to shoot these shots at Ayuthhaya. They have come out well inspite of that .

There is a mix of Buddhist , Chinese and hindu influence . IN this can see Chinese statues in a Hindu scenerio.

This is still under constructions and will take another 20 years . Its a wooden structure thats worth a visit.

The Sanctuary of truth was started in 1980 by a wealthy Thai businessman who has since passed and his children carry on with the work. Built completely of carved wood it really is an amazing sight and well worth the admission price of 500 baht.

The Sanctuary of Truth is a gigantic wooden construction which covers the area of more than two rais. The top point of the building is about 105 meters high. It was constructed to withstand the wind and sunshine on the seashore at Rachvate Cape, Tumbon Naklea, Amphur Banglamung, Chon Buri Province.The building was constructed according to ancient Thai ingenuity and every square inch of the building is covered with wooden carve sculpture. The purposes of decoration with wooden carve sculptures are to use art and culture as the reflection of Ancient Vision of Earth, Ancient Knowledge, and Eastern Philosophy. With in this complex, visitors will understand Ancient Life, Human Responsibility, Basic Thought, Cycle of living, Life Relationship with Universe and Common Goal of Life toward Utopia.More at hubpages.com/hub/Santuary_of_Truth
