The most beautiful picture of Mother Earth in the world

Wat Chomphu Wek in Nonthaburi Province is known as the temple with the image of the Goddess of the Earth, which is considered to be the most beautiful image of the Goddess of the Earth in the world. It is an image of the Goddess of the Earth squeezing her hair in a graceful pose in a glass pavilion with a pointed roof. It is a painting made of powdered paint mixed with glue in the style of the middle Ayutthaya period by the craftsmen of the Nonthaburi school, which is considered a very beautiful art. Wat Chomphu Wek was built by Mon people who fled from Burma in the late Ayutthaya period, around 2300 B.E. Later, over a hundred years later, monks from the Mon city built the Phra Mu Tao. (Mon-style pagoda) to enshrine the Buddha image brought from his hometown and as a place of worship, it is assumed that the relics of the Lord Buddha were enshrined in it in 2460. Later, a temple was built called Wat Chomphuwek, which means to praise the high hill with seclusion (quietness). The original Ubosot is in the Maha-ut style, located behind the pagoda, which is in the same style as the pagoda in the city of Hongsawadi. The end of the wall tapers to support the weight instead of the pillars. In front, there is a pediment decorated with stucco in the pattern of lotus flowers. The center of the flower is made of blue and white porcelain and Benjarong. The door and window arches are stucco in the pattern of plants on all four walls. In addition, the Ubosot also enshrines the principal Buddha image in Sukhothai art and 2 more standing Buddha images. The temple is currently registered as a national historical site.
