A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, Luang Prabang's royal legacy dates back to the 14th century when it became the royal capital for six centuries until the abolition of the monarchy in 1975. Under royal patronage Buddhism flourished, leaving behind a city alive with Buddhist culture and history, where worship has always been an integral part of daily life.
A spiritual centre for many, Luang Prabang is currently, home to large monastic communities where an estimated 1,000 out of a total population of 16,000 people are monks and novices. At dawn, it's inspiring to catch a glimpse of saffron robed figures mysteriously gliding through the mist chanting ancient sutras, while bells, gongs and drums sound harmoniously across town.
Those interested in Buddhist architecture and art will find the panoply of venerable temples spellbinding. Besides housing the country’s most sacred Buddha image, Luang Prabang’s temples are known for their beautifully adorned gold walls and doors, as well as for the shape of their archetypal roofs, which are layered, sloped and high-peaked. |
