The world's largest private museum - Three-headed Ganesha Museum

#2月好去地方2025 Three-headed Ganesha Museum ~ "A country founded on Buddhism, a holy place for learning religion and art" Thailand🇹🇭 is a famous "country founded on Buddhism" and the most devout place in Southeast Asia for Buddhist beliefs. This place is located in "Samutprakarn Province" near Bangkok, not far from "Ancient Siam", and is a relatively small attraction. Travelers who don't like the hustle and bustle can arrange to come here~ 💥Buddhist Guardian: In Buddhism, "Indra" is called the guardian of heaven. Its name means "the head of all gods", and Ganesha🐘 is Indra's mount. The story takes place in "Erawan". People believe that Indra will ride his mount to scatter the rainwater🌧️ from heaven to the world. 🏘️Unique structure: The museum is divided into three floors: "Underworld", "Human World" and "Heaven", which are derived from the concept mentioned in the Buddhist scripture "Three Realms Sutra"! ! ~Underworld~ Located at the bottom of Ganesha, it is also called "Suvarnabhumi". According to their belief, the underground world is the world of "Naga". According to legend, Naga is a giant python living in the underground world. Because Naga protects and supports the underground world, the world on earth will not collapse! ! ~Human World~ This place combines many Eastern and Western artworks. The ceiling is a painted glass globe, with four colors representing the elements of the earth: yellow for "earth", white for "wind", red for "fire", and blue for "water". The outer part is carved with the 12 constellations. In addition, there are 4 pillars supporting the human layer, which correspond to the "Mahayana Buddhism", "Hinduism", "Theravada Buddhism" and "Christianity" in the human world, which are also the four major religions believed in by people~ ~Heaven~ Located in the belly of the elephant god, according to the description of the "Three Realms Sutra", this is Mount Sumeru and the residence of the gods. The shrine at the top enshrines "Phra Singh Buddha". The architectural design here can be called "a model of Sukhothai Dynasty art"! ! 🫳Four major religious pillars~ ~Mahayana Buddhism~ Prevalent in China, especially in the Tang Dynasty, its Buddhist concept mainly expounds the spirit of Guanyin Bodhisattva saving the suffering and the distressed without seeking to become a Buddha, and advises the world to do more good deeds ~Theravada Buddhism~ Originated from the story of "Buddha's ten reincarnations", it encourages people to do good deeds and not lie is the way to follow justice! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
