The
Pha That Luang is an imposing golden Buddhist Stupa in the center of Vientiane. It is said that a Buddhist Relic, the
breastbone of Lord Buddha is housed in this stupa. It is a national monument and
a symbol of Laos and its culture.
Destroyed
by raiding parties from Burma, China and Thailand many times, the stupa has
been rebuilt time and again, most recently by the French.
This
video by nfsutton gives an idea of how this majestic golden landmark and shrine
looks like.
