Aquarelle of the main auditorium of the
Kasetsart University, with in front the
Bangkok
campus' pond, that features a fountain
with a statue of
Phra Phirun,
the Thai god of rain (fig.)
and the university's mascot,
standing on a
naga
from whose mouth water emerges. In the bottom right corner is
the university's 72nd Anniversary logo (fig.),
which consists of a green circle with in it a gold depiction of Phra
Phirun with a halo
(fig.),
standing
on the back
of a
naga
that sprouts water from its
mouth,
and flanked on the left, in gold, by the highly stylized Thai number 7 (๗)
and on the right with the golden stylized number 2 (๒),
which are adorned with
kanok
motifs shaped like
naga-heads sprouting
water from their mouths
(fig.)
and which at first glance appear to be mirror images of each other. |
