Informations supplémentaires

temple located in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. Built in 1818 during the reign of King Anouvong, it is considered to be the oldest surviving temple in Vientiane. Its architectural style, which reflects early Bangkok period designs, is unique in Laos and has contributed to its enduring significance. The temple is renowned for its cloister walls that house thousands of tiny Buddha images and rows of seated Buddhas. These Buddha images, varying in size, material, and style, are estimated to number over 10, 000. They were donated by the people of Laos over several centuries, contributing to the spiritual and historical richness of the site. The main temple structure, or sim, is characterized by a five-tiered roof and houses a central altar complex with several seated Buddhas. The walls of the sim are adorned with murals depicting Jataka stories, which are tales about the previous lives of the Buddha. One of the significant features of Wat Si Saket is its spacious courtyards filled with ornate stupas and sculptures, which further enhance the temple's religious and cultural significance. The temple also houses a museum, providing insights into the history and religious practices of Laos. Wat Si Saket plays an essential role in religious ceremonies and festivals in Laos. One of the most important is the annual That Luang Festival, where a grand procession heads from Wat Si Saket to the Great Stupa, Pha That Luang, located a few kilometers away.
