Buddhism Buddhist Chiang Gods Monster Monsters Prathat Statues Suthep Temples Thai Thailand


EDITORS COMMENTS
Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, a revered Buddhist temple nestled atop Doi Suthep mountain in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is renowned for its stunning architecture and spiritual significance. Among its many treasures, the Mom Statue, or Phra Mae Suwan, stands out as a unique and intriguing symbol of the temple's rich history and cultural heritage. This image captures the essence of the Mom Statue, which is believed to represent the goddess of the mountain and protector of Chiang Mai. The statue, adorned with intricate gold leaf detailing and a serene expression, sits atop a monster, which is said to represent the vanquished demon Maha Kala. The statue's peaceful demeanor contrasts starkly with the fierce and menacing features of the monster beneath, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The Mom Statue is a testament to the deep-rooted Buddhist beliefs and traditions of the Thai people. It is believed that the goddess grants blessings and protection to those who visit and pay respects to her. The statue is a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all corners of the world who seek to experience the spiritual and cultural wonders of Wat Prathat Doi Suthep and the beautiful city of Chiang Mai. This photograph, taken in December 2012, offers a glimpse into the awe-inspiring beauty and historical significance of the Mom Statue and Wat Prathat Doi Suthep temple. The intricate details of the gold leaf decorations, the serene expression of the goddess, and the fierce features of the monster beneath, all combine to create a powerful and evocative image that speaks to the enduring power of faith and the triumph of good over evil.
