Description: |

Wat Phra Kaew or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (officially
known as Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram) is regarded as one of
the most important temples in Thailand. Located in the historic
centre of Bangkok, within the grounds of the Grand Palace, it
enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly
revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of
jade. Phra Kaew Morakot wears an attire of gold and precious
jewels is seated on a very ornate raised alter in the ubosot
(ordination hall). Three times a year the king dresses it in a
new gold outfit to usher in the new season: hot, rainy or cold. |
