Temples in Chiang Rai, Thailand are represented by colors. What's the difference between temples of each color?

In Chiang Rai, Thailand, the colors of temples are in sharp contrast, and buildings related to religion are generally white temples representing heaven and black temples representing hell. It is the believer's understanding of the color of the temple.

. Many people will punch in at the White Temple and the Black Temple when they come to Chiang Rai, but they seldom know that there is a blue temple here. In Thailand, there are not only blue temples in Chiang Mai, but also in Chiang Rai. The name of Chiang Mai Blue Temple is Wat Ban Den (Wantong Temple).

It has a history of 100 years. It was built in 1894, earlier than the famous White Temple 104. It is the largest temple complex in Chiang Mai, with an area of about128,000 square meters. Its architectural style is a combination of Lanna and Myanmar styles. Tallinn, the zodiac sign behind the main hall, is very shocking. The Blue Temple in Chiang Rai was built in 2005 and was not completed until the beginning of 20 16.

It was designed by PhutthaKarbkaew, the apprentice of Mr. Xu Longcai, the owner of the White Temple, and continued his idea at the beginning of building the White Temple, with no admission fee, no parking fee and no incense money. The area is only 9600 square meters, which is more artistic.

The high saturation blue is particularly dazzling against the blue sky and white clouds, like a deep sea that contains everything, while the pearl-white Buddha statue is like a deep-sea pearl to enlighten people and protect all beings. Combined with gold-plated lines and patterns, plus purple, light blue, white and red decorations, the blue temple has become the most colorful building in Chiang Rai.

All the sculptures are added with silver powder, so they look very shiny. See the real chapter for details. The murals in the main hall are even more colorful and shocking. At the same time, I can't help but slow down to feel the visual impact and the quiet power that comes with it.

The Blue Temple in Chiang Rai has only one main hall and one stupa, but it is small and beautiful. Compared with the artistic creativity and pure white of the White Temple, the Blue Temple is more fragrant. There are also more people who bow down before the Buddha.
