Kh'Leang Temple
Kh'Leang Temple is a notable Theravada Buddhist temple in Sóc Trăng, a town in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. It is the most well-known temple in the town and is a Khmer temple; the town is close to the border with Cambodia and has a large ethnic Khmer population.
==Description==
The temple is situated on a 3.5 hectare block of land that is marked by a large number of high and shady trees. The temple was first built in 1533, when the area was under the control of the Khmer Empire, before the area was taken over by Vietnamese settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries. It initially consisted of a wooden building with a thatched roof, before being replaced with a tiled roof. There are four entrances for the temple, in the northern, southern, eastern and western directions. The temple has been renovated many times in the five centuries since its construction but has not been renovated in the last 80 years. From the first abbot Thích Thạch Sóc to the current abbot, there have been 21 abbots.〔
The main ceremonial hall occupies an area of 416 m; it is 20 m wide and 20.80 m long. It stands on an elevated platform around a metre above ground level. The roof is held up by 12 wide pillars built in the Corinthian style of Greece. It is painted in shiny black coating, with gold coloured paintings of dragons and fish wrapping themselves around the pillar. A placard stands in front of the main altar and lengthens to the ceiling of the main hall, with inscriptions in gold paint. At the centre of the main hall is the statue of Gautama Buddha, which stands 6.80 m high and 2.70 m wide. A plaque with a Khmer inscription denotes that the 17th abbot of the temple organised the erection of the statue in 1916, funded by the family of Lum Sum.〔
The temple is ornamented with various objects in the Khmer tradition.〔
