Temple of Truth / The Sanctuary of Truth

Temple of Truth began to build at his own expense an eccentric Thai millionaire Lek Viriyaphan 1981. According to legend, he foretold that he would die as soon as the complete construction of the temple. It happened over 19 years, and the temple is still under construction, for three decades. "Made entirely of wood and covered with a thin thread, this building is full of religious and philosophical truth, and shows that human civilization has reached", - says in the brochure. True. Some parts of the church have thirty years to rot in the open air, others are under construction, and others restored - a small copy of the human civilization.





Temple does not represent any religion, it is an attempt to combine national and religious traditions of neighboring countries. The dimensions are enormous - 105 meters high, with about tridtsatietazhny house. And everything, absolutely everything is covered with carvings. Each part of the temple, each wing, nook and sculpture, of course, mean anything. I will not even try to tell you - it would be necessary for life to study the history and culture of Thailand.
