SUMMARY

Sacred to Thai Buddhists and housed in one of Thailand's most magnificent temples, the Emerald Buddha has been a part of Bangkok since shortly after the city's birth as a capital in 1782. Yet its origins are centuries earlier. Behind the tranquil repose of the Emerald Buddha in the Chapel Royal is a tale of the human struggle for power and human veneration of the divine, an adventure spanning at least half a millennium. Narula chronicles the famous image's legendary odyssey from mystical roots in India, to Sri Lanka and beyond, before following its sojourns in various sites in Thailand and Laos.Narula, Karen S. is the author of 'Voyage of the Emerald Buddha - Karen Schur Narula - Paperback' with ISBN 9789676530578 and ISBN 9676530573.
