The Iconic Wat Arun
#bangkok
This temple is one of the must-visit temples in Thailand. This was my 3rd time visiting this temple but still I was amazed by its magnificent beauty. The view itself and most especially the detail of every part made me feel amazed. Many tourists visit here always.
The entrance fee is 100baht with free one bottle of water. You must not forget to wear proper or modest attire when visiting temples. If you wear not that modest you can borrow from there or you can buy from the shops around. Don’t worry if you’ll get tired, there are some benches where you can sit and relax. Do not forget to put sunscreen this time is a little bit hot.
Add this temple to your bucket list when you come to Thailand.

St. Lawrence’s Church Macao
MACAO WORLD HERITAGE・CHURCHES
St. Lawrence's Church
#world HERITAGE#religion
Built by the Jesuits in the mid-16th century, this is one of the three oldest churches in Macao. Its present appearance and scale was acquired in 1846. Situated on the southern coastline of Macao overlooking the sea, families of Portuguese sailors used to gather on the front steps of the church to pray and wait for their return, hence it was given the name: Feng Shun Tang (Hall of the Soothing Winds). The neighbourhood where the church is located used to be fairly wealthy, thus explaining the building's scale and wealth of architectural treatment. It is a neo-classical structure, with subtle Baroque decorative inspirations.#fallingforfall #tripblazers #spooktaculartrip
India’s river of life and death.
As I stood on the banks of the Ganges River, its sacred waters flowed gently, carrying with them centuries of reverence and belief. The bustling activity along the riverbanks hinted at its significance to millions of Hindus who regard it as more than just a body of water but a divine presence.
With each dip and splash, devotees sought spiritual purification, believing in the river's ability to absolve sins and grant blessings. The air was thick with chants and prayers, mingling with the aroma of incense and flowers offered to Mother Ganges. Observing the faithful embark on their pilgrimages, I couldn't help but feel humbled by the depth of their devotion to this lifeline of spirituality. Amidst the bustling crowd, the Ganges exuded a serene aura, embodying both sanctity and vitality.

A unique symphony of spiritual.
During my visit to Sangngag Choiling Gumba in Pokhara, I reveled in its tranquil ambiance and the picturesque vista it offered of Pokhara. The monastery exuded a sense of serenity, heightened by prayer flags gently swaying in the breeze.
However, the peaceful atmosphere was juxtaposed by ongoing renovation work, which somewhat disrupted the harmony. Despite the construction, the spiritual allure of the monastery remained, providing moments of contemplation amidst the sounds of renovation. It was a reminder of the impermanence of all things, including peaceful moments.

Headed to Taipei in late October and had the opportunity to witness the vibrant religious scene at Longshan Temple in Wanhua District.
People clad in costumes of Chinese dieties and roving along the streets, with loud drums and music to add some excitement to the event.
