The pagoda shrine is supported by four columns (pillars ?) adorned with orate Chinese dragons.
The deity is the centre-piece sits on a yin-yang “throne” … Very ornate indeed …
I noticed the cleaner guy took off his shoes, so I did likewise to take these photos (well the ones from inside at least).
Taken at Lower Big Buddha Hill, Thailand Nov-2013

Beautiful photos Don. Enjoy your stay-cation. See ya in the funny papers, bro.

My boss was telling me today that all shoes must be removed before entering any temple. I guess the pagoda has similar rules.
Yes I think it’s fairly common in temples etc
Wow, those are brilliant photos of the dragons. ~SueBee
