Tourists go there “for good luck”.
In Thailand, famous for its temples and sculptures, huge gilded statues of the vagina and penis have been discovered.
About it informs nypost.com.
A Buddhist nun known as the Brahmin Mother built the statue so that women could increase their fertility and “wealth” as well as atone for “sinful” acts such as abortion.
“We hold ceremonies here to provide a cure for misfortune,” Naowaratkotchaporn Simetawong told Viral Press about the unorthodox site at a Buddhist temple in Nakhon Ratchasima province.
The corresponding frames show a golden vagina 120 cm high, surrounded by eight smaller vulvas.
Meanwhile, the sculpture of fertility is guarded by a stone snake with seven heads, sitting under a nearby mango tree.
The Thais also erected a matching golden penis surrounded by eight smaller phalluses.
The popularity of this place of worship has skyrocketed, with people making pilgrimages from all over the world to pray for good luck, fertility, beauty and help.
“I believe that we should respect the genitals, because they are the source of life and abundance in the world,” said Mother Brahmin. “There is nothing surprising or unusual about this.”
The woman received approval for the daring statue from the authorities, who inspected it on May 22 to make sure it was not violating any religious taboos in the predominantly Buddhist district.
“We want the shrine to meet moral standards,” said Kanatchon Sijaroen, head of the local council, who led the review. “We ordered them to remove signs that might be vulgar.”
He added that they also had to relocate the large Buddhist statue located between the penis and vagina sculptures because it was not important to place it so close to the “genitals”.
Recall that in the picturesque village of Austria came up with a way to deal with tourists. The inhabitants of the village of Hallstatt are very tired of the crowds of people.
