Some temples have no
ubosot and thus keep their
important
Buddha images
in the
viharn instead,
as this prayer hall of
Wat Ratchanaddah,
here seen from the adjacent
Lohaprasat
(fig.).
Believers
also gather to pray in the viharn,
which is also
transliterated wihaan,
as seen here in the chapel of
Wat Suthat
in Bangkok.
