EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring golden statue of Phra Phikanet, also known as Phra Phikanesh or Ganesha, the revered Hindu god of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune, at Wat Prathat Doi Suthep temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Dating back to 1383, Wat Prathat Doi Suthep is one of the most significant temples in Northern Thailand and is renowned for its beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere. The gold-plated statue of Phra Phikanet, which stands at an impressive height of 15 feet, is a major attraction for visitors from all around the world. Phra Phikanet, depicted here with his distinctive elephant head and four arms, is a beloved deity in Thai Buddhism, and is believed to bring good luck and protection to his devotees. The statue is housed in a beautiful pavilion, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views of the city of Chiang Mai and the surrounding mountains. Wat Prathat Doi Suthep is not only a place of religious significance but also holds great historical importance. It is said that the temple was founded when a white elephant carried a sacred relic of the Buddha to the top of Doi Suthep mountain, where the temple was later built. The temple complex also houses several other shrines and statues dedicated to various deities and kings. This photograph captures the essence of the spiritual and historical significance of Wat Prathat Doi Suthep and the reverence and devotion of the people towards the golden statue of Phra Phikanet. The intricate details of the statue and the peaceful surroundings make for a breathtaking sight, making this temple a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
