Significance in sight !

Around the world 🌍 with different beliefs and religions, comes different concepts. The importance and preaching of such concepts have been made through construction of religious institutions like temple, church, mosque and just statues sometimes. Although the main God is the primary one, the statuettes in the tower top has its own significance. One such observation I made is when visiting 松赞林寺 🛕 (Songzanling monastery). As I started observing one tower after another, the number of animals differed. There's a man leading at the front while riding on a rooster 🐓 followed by dragons 🐉 of different form. After some research, I got to know that if the number of dragons following the main man is more then that tower has the most important God of the temple. In this temple, the Buddha🪅, also called as Goddess of mercy was provided nine dragons in the top; remarking the tower as the most important. Rooster is believed to be eat out or chase all the evils out of our lives. It is simply amazing 🤩to see how symbols has intertwined into our ancestor's lives. #symbols #buddha #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday
