In the main chedi of Wat Phra That Sorn Kaew, the gilded Buddha statue shines out against a luminous glass mandala that fills the space with light and colour. The delicate patterns of the window and the gentle radiance of the robe combine to create an atmosphere of quiet contemplation. This photograph captures the unique harmony of spiritual symbolism, exquisite craftsmanship and meditative tranquillity: the main chedi (Phra That), Wat Phra That Sorn Kaew, Khao Kho Mountains, Phetchabun Province, Isan, Thailand
