Floor Altar to the Left of the Main Altar in the Bang Khun Thian Temple (โรงเจมหาโพธิสัตว์กวนอิม) (菩薩壇) Anderl, Christoph; Johansen, Kira; Thomson, Oliver; Sirothphiphat, Saly
Description
Bang Khun Thian (โรงเจมหาโพธิสัตว์กวนอิม) (菩薩壇) is a three-winged Guanyin (觀音) temple in Bangkok, Thailand. The temple houses both Buddhist and Daoist deities, even though the main altar is dedicated to Guanyin. The following images show the small floor altar to the left of the main Guanyin (觀音) altar. Image 01 shows an overview. Image 02 shows a close-up. Inside the altar is a small golden censer with Chinese "Golden Flower" (金花) offerings inside. The altar is flanked by two red lanterns, and the golden characters at the bottom read, 寶財, referring to "treasure," or "wealth." Below this is the inscription read from right to left, 金玉滿堂, which means "Gold and jade shall fill the hall." Metadata created and compiled by: Kira Johansen.
