This well crafted and attractive statue of the Buddha is housed in a city government shrine, in the city government precinct, which lies in the city centre, of the small northern Thai provincial capital of Maha Sarakham, in northern Thailand. Entry to the grounds is unrestricted.
The Buddha is the founder and principal figure in the Buddhist faith. He lived during the sixth centre BCE, beginning life as an Indian prince, but then turned from a life or power and ease, to seek enlightenment. The Buddhist belief system centres around the teachings of the Buddha and the Buddhist community, and includes a belief in reincarnation. There are approximately 500 million Buddhists, and, while present in virtually every country, its practitioners are most likely to be found in India and east Asia.
