Welcoming Naga
It seems the word "Naga" is Sanscrit for serpent and probably arrived in south-east Asia with the Hindu religion brought in by Indian merchants way back about the 10th century (or earlier). Apparently the Buddha was protected by a seven-headed serpent during a violent rainstorm, so somehow the Sanscrit term and seven-headed serpent merged. Whatever the background, to this day Naga images are to be seen acting as benign guardians at Buddhist temples throughout Laos.
This ancient Naga, at Wat Phu, welcomes visitors following the causeway path and pleasingly, as can be seen, has had some restoration work. It also seems to gather an awful lot of incense! Looks good on black and behind is my fence for this week.
HFF, best wishes for the weekend and stay safe, everyone.
