Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Another look at That Dam, or the Black Pagoda, close to my hotel in Vientaine, Laos. It is believed that this stupa was built in the 16th century, originally covered with gold plates. In the year 1827 the city of Vientiane was razed by the Empire of Siam (now Thailand), and the invaders took away the golden plates covering That Dam, leaving behind only the brick structure. Since the That Dam stupa has not been rehabilitated or has not received any TLC (tender loving care). Due to neglect, the stupa is now covered with grass and weeds. The bricks and stones have been blackened with the passing of the years, so That Dam is popularly known with the nickname of the Black stupa. Note also that the structure is also slightly warped at the top. (Vientaine, Laos/ Lao PDR, April 2014) |
