An artist restores the mural wall paintings at Wat Phra Kaew, Bangkok by repainting on the original mural.
The murals inside tell the Ramayana epic in its entirety. On the columns of the balcony are stone inscriptions of the verses describing the murals. Each gate of the Balcony is guarded by the five-metre tall Yaksa Tavarnbal (Gate-keeping Giants), the characters taken from Ramayana.
Wat Phra Kaew or Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the most visited sites in Bangkok. Officially known as Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram it is regarded as the most important Buddhist temple in Thailand. Located in the historic centre of Bangkok, within the grounds of the Grand Palace, it enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of jade. The Emerald Buddha (Phra Putta Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn) is a Buddha image in the meditating position in the Lanna style of the north, dating from the 15th century AD.
