Okay, and since Luxe caught me....this is it! :)
Los mudras son gestos que se realizan con las manos y los dedos durante la meditación. Mudra es una palabra originaria del sánscrito y significa producir gozo. ... Las asanas que se realizan con las manos, a través de las terminaciones nerviosas de las puntas de los dedos, comunican un mensaje a la mente.

Few cities in the world capture the imagination as much as Bangkok. Ornate palaces that host royal processions, Buddhist temples that witness monks chanting ancient temples, canals that lead to a maze of water markets, night bazaars that never sleep - have long proved a powerful magnet for travelers. The Marble Temple, also called Wat Benchamabophit, is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. Built of white marble, it is one of the most modern temples in Bangkok. It is also known as the Marble Temple because of the large amount of white marble used in its construction. The temple was built in the late 19th century and is a good example of later Thai architecture. The temple is also unique in that it is a mixture of Thai and European styles. It also contains many beautiful statues of Buddhist gods and saints. The Marble Temple is one of the few temples in Bangkok that is not run by the government. It is managed by a group of monks who live and work there. The temple also has a beautiful garden with many exotic plants and trees. There is also a beautiful large gong in the temple where visitors can strike for good luck. Visitors often come to the temple to meditate or offer prayers. There is also a small museum in the temple where visitors can learn about the history and cultural values of the temple.
The Marble Temple in Bangkok contains several statues of Buddhas, including a beautiful large statue of Luangpho To, the main Buddha in the temple. Luangpho To is a statue of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. The statue is made of white marble and is about 4 meters high. The statue is covered with gold leaf and has a serene appearance. The Buddha's hands are in the "abhaya mudra" position, symbolizing protection and reassurance. The images of Buddhas in the temple are often important objects of worship for the Buddhist community. Visitors often come to the temple to pray for good luck, health and prosperity and to meditate in the presence of the Buddha. The Marble Temple has a unique design, with a mix of traditional Thai architecture and European influences. The roof is decorated with golden ornaments and has an array of small domes, which give the temple a beautiful symmetry. The entrance to the temple is dominated by a beautiful marble staircase that leads to the main entrance. At the front of the temple is a large marble Sala that serves as a reception area for visitors. A Sala is a type of roof commonly used in temples and other religious buildings in Thailand. It is an open space with a roof and side walls and is often used as a place to meditate, pray or receive visitors. The Sala is decorated with beautiful sculptures and decorations, including two large Singha Images. The two temple guardians, known throughout Thailand as mythical creatures, are depicted as half man and half lion. Some sit atop gateposts, while many others guard the temple entrances.

Wikipedia: The city of Nan's most famous wat is renowned for its cruciform ubosot which was constructed in 1596 and restored during the reign of Phra Chao Anantaworritthidet (Chao Nakhon Nan No.62nd) (1852-1892).
It is the only temple which was built as if it were on the back of two immense snakes (or Nagas). Each of the four entrances is preceded by a small corridor topped by a finely decorated, point-shaped structure (underlining the royal origin of the temple) and is equipped with smoothly carved doors; with Chinese demon guards in the east, flowers in the north and forest life motives in the Lanna style in the west and south.
The wat's interior is impressive. It is also a good example of Thai Lue architecture. The structure of the roof is supported by twelve teak pillars decorated with gold on black and red lacquer and elephants' motives. The ceiling is also finely decorated. The flowered altar resting in the center of the bôt supports four Buddhas of the Sukhothai style in the pose of Bhūmisparsa mudrā
Well preserved murals of great value illustrating the Khattana Kumara Jataka on the Northern wall and the Nimi Jatakas on the Western wall as well as scenes of the local life of the time when they were painted by Thai Lue artists during the restoration of the temple at the end of the 19th century. Europeans can even be noticed: a reference to the arrival of the French to whom the East of the Nan valley area was yielded in 1893. The style is rather distinctive and quite removed from the traditional style of temple paintings in Thailand.
Les mudras..
Les diverses représentations de Bouddha sont codées: attitude du corps, position des mains etc Chacune porte un sens profond. voici les ' 4 présentes sur cet ensemble de statues , mais il y a bien d'autres mudras dans TOUTE l' Asie

Varadamudra
Il Varada Mudra – o “Gesto del dono” – indica offerta, benvenuto e carità compassionevole.
Normalmente è un gesto compiuto con la mano sinistra, direzionata verso il basso e con il palmo rivolto all’esterno. Spesso questo mudra viene confuso con il Vitarka mudra e con il Bhumisparsha mudra, che gli somigliano molto.
Normalmente si associa all’ Abhaya mudra, eseguito con l’altra mano.
Varadamudra
The Varada Mudra – or “Gesture of Giving” – indicates offering, welcome and compassionate charity.
It is normally a gesture made with the left hand, directed downwards and with the palm facing outwards. This mudra is often confused with the Vitarka mudra and the Bhumisparsha mudra, which are very similar to it.
It is normally associated with Abhaya mudra, performed with the other hand.

Anantasayi Panel in Mahishasuramardini Cave Temple, Mahabalipuram
On the southern face of the cave, there is a panel of Vishnu in an Anantasayana mudra, a reclining posture, lying on the bed of a serpent. He is shown with two hands holding the coil of the five-headed serpent known as Adisesha, which forms a cover over Vishbu's head. Madhu and Kaitabha, the two demons, are carved near Vishnu's feet in an attacking mode, armed with a gada (mace). The demons are in a position of retreat, as Adisesha hisses at them with flames emerging from its hoods. Vishnu, unconcerned, is patting Adisesha to pacify him. Also shown in the panel are the two ganas (dwarfs). Dwarfs are Vishnu's ayudhapurushas (as his personified weapons); the male gana is known as shankha or Panchajanya, and the female gana is Vishnu's gada Kaumodaki. Also seen in the panel, at its lower end, are three figures; his chakra (discus) is Sudarshana in ayudha-purusha form, Nandaka on the right is his khadga (sword), and the female figure is Bhudevi, also as ayudha-purusha.
The Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram is a collection of 7th- and 8th-century CE religious monuments in the coastal resort town of Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal, about 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of Chennai.
The site has 40 ancient monuments and Hindu temples,[4] including one of the largest open-air rock reliefs in the world. ( FROM WIKIPEDIA)
The dancer in the female costume is the same actor-dancer from my previous upload.Here he plays the part of a demoness who, in the guise of a beautiful woman, tries to seduce the hero ( a God) who has captured her fancy.
In the background you can see the vocalist who accompanied the performance.
Taking these shots sitting in the audience and without flash or stand was not easy but I tried my best.:-)
Kathakali is a traditional form of Indian classical dance and one of the oldest theatre forms still practised.It is a "story game" genre of art , distinguished by the elaborately colourful make-up and costumes of the traditionally male actor-dancers.It is native to and almost entirely practised by the people of Kerala, the state at the south-western tip of India.
The roots of Kathakali can be traced back to at least the 1st millenium CE.
The term Kathakali is derived from the words "katha" meaning story or conversation and "kali" which means performance or play.The traditional themes are folk stories,religious legends and ideas from the Hindu epics and Puranas.Like all classical dances of India, a Kathakali performance synthesizes music, vocalists, choreography and hand and facial gestures which express ideas and emotions.
A Kathakali repertoire is an operatic performance involving actor-dancers in the front supported by musicians and vocalists.Typically all roles (even the female ones) are played by male actor-dancers.
Traditionally a kathakali performance is long ,starting at dusk and continuing through dawn with breaks for the artists. Modern performances are shorter. The stage is mostly bare with only a few drama related items.The front of the stage is adorned with a huge brass lamp (kalivilakku) with its thick wick sunk in coconut oil.When there was no electricity this lamp provided the light for the night performances when the actor-dancers would gather around it.
Of all the classical dances, Kathakali has the most elaborate make-up and costumes consisting of head dresses, vividly painted faces and masks.It typically takes hours to prepare a kathakali troupe for a play.
The make-up follows an accepted code that helps the audience identify with the characters.The colours which are made from natural ingredients are used denote different characters.For eg.The colour Pacha (green) with brillint coral lips potrays a noble character ,Thaadi (red) denotes an evil streak, Kari (black) is the code for forest dwellers, hunters, demons etc.
The actors speak a sign language where the word part of the dialogues is expressed through hand gestures ( mudras) while emotions and moods are expressed through facial and eye movements.
