Looking up at the ceiling of the structure in the previous photo. It has the 12 astrological signs around the outside, and 9 images in the center that I'm not so sure about. They might be a depiction of "the nine virtues attributed to the Buddha" but that's just a wild guess, and I'm not exactly sure what that even means. I can see the "sleeping Buddha" which is a famous sculpture in Bangkok, and what looks like Buddha under the Bhodi tree, which as the story goes, is where Buddha attained enlightenment, so by best guess is that it's depicting the various stages of Buddhas life.
