Faith and beliefs, important temples of Vientiane people

#GetDiscountNotDependingOnLuck Built a temple to enshrine Phra Chao Ong Tue, which is a large Buddha statue cast in bronze. His Majesty ordered that it be cast together with 4 other Buddha statues: Phra Ong Tue, Phra Suk, Phra Sai, and Phra Soem, so it is called "Wat Ong Tue" until today. The characteristics of Phra Chao Ong Tue are: a rather large face, large eyes narrowed down, a large nose, wide lips, and relatively large hands, which are considered a unique style of Lan Xang Buddha statues. The body is tall, similar to the later Lan Xang Buddha statues. Phra Ong Tue was cast with a very heavy weight of gold (1 Tue = 1000 kilograms). For this reason, this Buddha statue is called Phra Ong Tue.
Wat Ong Tue Maha Viharn is a temple located in Vientiane, Laos.
