  • Information
The images of the three Hindu deities, Vishnu, Shiva and Laksamee were carved out of stone by Pallava Sculptors living in Southern India during the 8th-9th centuries A.D., who was still the Crown Prince, travelled to see these images whose faces and bodies strangely stood out of the trunk of a tree that had grown around them. Nobody knows where the images come from However, from the ornaments and hairstyles, we can presume that the statues are of Indian origin.
Now these images are kept Nakhon Si Thammarat National Museum.
