Photographer’s Note
A ubosot(h) (อุโบสถ) is a building in a Buddhist Wat in which ordinations take place.
An ubosoth stands within a boundary formed by eight sema stones (Thai: ใบเสมา) which separate the sacred from the profane, and thus differs from a viharn (วิหาร). The sema stones actually stand above and mark the Luk Nimit (ลูกนิมิต), stone spheres buried at the cardinal points of the compass delineating the sacred area. Both ubosoth and viharns typically house Buddha images.
