That Ing Hang, Buddhist pagoda in Savannakhet Province, Laos
The That Ing Hang pagoda stands nine meters tall with intricate stone carvings adorning its exterior walls and multiple ceremonial levels rising toward the sky.
Built in the 16th century, this religious structure contains what many believe to be a sacred relic of Buddha's spine within its central chamber.
Local Buddhist practitioners and visitors from northern Thailand regularly gather at the pagoda to perform traditional ceremonies and offer prayers throughout the year.
The pagoda welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and requires appropriate dress code including traditional sarongs for women entering the grounds.
Stone inscriptions and detailed carvings throughout the structure combine elements of both Hindu and Buddhist architectural traditions in their elaborate designs.
