At Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya, Thailand, a serene Buddha head rests mysteriously within the roots of a banyan tree—one of the country’s most photographed and symbolic sights. Believed to have been abandoned during the temple’s destruction in 1767, the tree slowly enveloped the head over time, creating a hauntingly beautiful fusion of nature and spirituality. Visitors are asked to kneel when taking photos, honoring the sacredness of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
