  Wihaan Sadet Pho Phra Siwa

 

Thailand

Adjacent to the vihara of Wihaan Sadet Pho Phra Siwa, is a large open hall, with a large statue of the Hindu god Shiva on its roof (fig.), and dedicated to deities from the Hindu pantheon, as well as from Mahayana Buddhism and Chinese mythology.

 

In a garden on the side of this hall is a large statue that depicts the Churning of the Ocean of Milk (fig.). A wall has depictions of some of the creatures that surfaced during the process, with the Zebu being the first, which is hence sometimes depicted on waves of milk (fig.).
