Hell Garden
Gruesome statues of people reborn in Buddhist hell stand among the ruins of an 11th-century sanctuary.
The garden may be small, but the horrific artwork it contains is more than enough to sear its message into the minds of anyone brave enough to stroll through this gory corner of a religious complex. There, strange statues show—with shockingly gruesome detail—the many ways to torture a human soul.
The statues all stand within the Hell Garden at Wat Sa Kamphaeng Yai, a fairly modern Buddhist temple situated within a much older complex. They’re meant to warn sinners of the unspeakable horrors awaiting their souls in Naraka, Buddhist Hell.
The strange, twisted statues are all subjected to a whole assortment of gory, graphic injuries and abnormalities.
