Upholding cultural values at Co Le Pagoda
The thousand-year-old Co Le Pagoda in Ninh Binh is home to a 9-ton Dai Hong Chung bronze bell. Cast in 1936, the bell stands 4.2 meters tall with a diameter of 2.2 meters. VNA Photo: Công Luật
The pagoda architecture adheres to the traditional “Tien Phat, Hau Thanh” (Buddha in front, Saint behind) layout, however, the pagoda’s exterior is strikingly different, with tall and sturdy arched domes. VNA Photo: Công Luật
The highlight of Co Le Pagoda is the nine-story Lotus Tower (Thap Cuu Pham Lien Hoa), perched on the back of a giant turtle. Standing at 32 meters tall and constructed in 1927 from nine stacked lotus tiers, the tower is an architectural marvel. VNA Photo: Công Luật
