Ubosoth

Ubosoth

s take place.

An ubosoth stands within a boundary formed by eight sema stones ( _th. 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" ( _th. ลูกนิมิต), stone spheres buried at the cardinal points of the compass delineating the sacred area. Both ubosoth and viharns typically house Buddha images.
