Wat Mahathat: Buddha Heads in Trees

๐ŸŒณโœจ Today, before we left Ayutthaya, we visited Wat Mahathat again. The temple grounds were full of wonder ๐Ÿฏ. As I walked, I saw the famous Buddha head in the tree roots ๐ŸŒฟ. It was like magic had placed it there.

๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ๐ŸŒณ I learned that the Buddha statues here had no heads because of the Burmese invasion long ago. They took the heads to prove they had conquered Ayutthaya, leaving only memories behind. It felt like a silent symphony of history ๐ŸŽป echoing through the ruins.

Q was with us and it was fun.
