ubosot
An "ubosot" is a sacred hall found in many Buddhist temples, primarily in Thailand. It serves as the main worship area where monks and laypeople gather for ceremonies, meditation, and teachings. The ubosot typically houses a central Buddha statue and is often ornately decorated with murals and intricate architecture.
The ubosot is also significant for its role in the ordination of monks. It is within this space that important rituals take place, including the formal acceptance of new monks into the Sangha, the community of monks. The design and layout of an ubosot can vary, reflecting local traditions and artistic styles.
