Modern Vihara at Wat Chiang Man in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Inside this ornate prayer hall called the modern vihara at Wat Chiang Man are two famous Buddha statues. The Phra Sila or Marble Buddha dates back to the 8th century. Older yet is the Crystal Buddha called Phra Setangamani. It originated around 200 AD and was captured by King Mangrai, the founder of Chiang Mai, in 1296.
