LAOS

Pha That Luang

https://architectureofbuddhism.com/books/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Phat-That-Luang-2.jpg
Laos is an independent state of Southeast Asia and officially known as Lao People’s Democratic Republic. It is
formerly part of the Indochinese Union, also known as French Indochina. Wat Pha That Luang, Vientiane is one of its
famous landmarks.
The classical music and dance of Laos is highly influences by India, Cambodia, and Thailand.
Themes are drawn from Hindu mythology, the Buddhist Jataka tales, and local legends. The royal entourage of
Lao kings traditionally included musicians, and a typical orchestra improvised songs with sets of tuned gongs,
xylophones, a bamboo flute, and other wind instruments.

Origin of Laos Music

Laotian music is under the influence of many kinds of music coming from China
and Thailand. Since the immigration of Tai people from Southern China to Laos and
Thailand nowadays, we see Laos and Thailand share some similar features in music:
they both use “Wot” as their traditional instrument in Laos and Northern Thailand.
Another reason adding to the similarity of Laos and Thailand music is that the Siamese
conquered Laos around the 19th century from Thailand. If the north of Laos is affected
by Chinese and Thai culture, Southern part of Laos is under the influence of Mon-
Khmer’s culture; therefore, Laos’ music also contains Mon-Khmer Soul in it.

Laos Folk music

The most important feature to distinguish between Laotian classical music and Laotian Folk Music is their
instruments. Laotian folk music is one kind of extemporaneous singing with the companion of “Khene (Khane)” which is
Laos’ most popular traditional instrument. Folk music is called “Lam” and Mor Lam is another version of Lam including
two singers: one male and one female with a khene player and another instrument player. In another way, Mor Lam is
also understood as a group of folk music singers and players.
Laos Khene

Khene is the identification of Laotian traditional music since every traditional song or dance, there’s always the
presence of Khene. This instrument is a mouth organ made of 7-8 pairs of bamboo pipes which connect with a small,
hollowed-out hardwood reservoir. That is where the air coming in and creating the
sound like the violin. There is a Laotian sentence meaning: If a person lives in a stilted
house, eats sticky rice, listen to Mor Lam or Lam Lao (Laos’music) and plays Khene, that
person must be a Laotian or has some relation to Laos. Khene can be considered as the
national music instrument in Laos. Its usage is also variable and simple, we can choose to
play it alone and enjoy the sound or use to support singer or regards it as instrument
ensembles.

Additionally, a Laotian traditional storytelling show Garavek featuring Khene has been very popular in Luang
Prabang is an example of Laotian folk music. In the show, you will have a chance to hear about the legendary story about
Luang Prabang which explains names of many famous sites in Luang Prabang, which is another way to enjoy the show
and gain more knowledge about this unique land, Laos.

Mor Lam – One of the Special Music in Laos

Mor Lam is regarded as a kind of folk music in Laos that combines music, poetry, jokes, talking, debate and
performing. Mor Lam, its mean that “ master of the verse”. It is the feature at temple fairs and heard on the radio and
seen on television. Laotian Mor Lam or Maw Lam is considered purer and more traditional than the form in Thai Land. It
often features the Khaen ( bamboo and reed mouth organ) and jousting pair of singers, backed by colorful troupes, who
improvise stories and courting duels. There are four main types of Mor Lam. The first one, story Maw Am, which often
with costumed performers. The second one is couple Maw Lam, which is performed by men and women. The next one is
dueling Maw Lam, which presented as a challenge. And the last one is solo Maw lam, which is presented by men or
women. In fact, each region has its own style, the southern style is popular in Thailand as well as Laos.

Traditional music, called Mor lam, is largely based around the khene.

Laos Classical Music

Laotian classical music closely relates to the same kind of music from Siam (Siam can partly be understood as
Thailand). The classical genre is divided into two types of music: Sep Nyai and Sep Noi. Sep Nyai is usually used as formal
music in ceremonies and important occasions, meanwhile, Sep Noi allows you to play popular tones.

The Lao orchestra can be divided into two categories:

1. Sep Nyai – This is similar to the Piphat of Thailand with instruments that are strictly percussive but also
integrates the use of an oboe. Sep Nyai is ceremonial and consists of two sets of gongs (kong vong), a xylophone
(lanat) an oboe (pei or salai), two kettele drums, and cymbals (xing).
2. Sep Noi – This is also known as the Mahori of Thailand. However, it incorporates the use of several khene
which is a large bamboo mouth organ and is the most popular folk music instrument of Laos. Sep Noi is more
relaxed and popular in feel. It incorporates the use of several khene.

Characteristics of Thai architecture include steeply-sloping tile roofs with up turned edges, open air spaces and
lush gardens. Stupas are bell-shaped, similar to the Sri-Lankan style. Sometimes Thai architecture is best appreciated for
its details. One the gestalt level it often appears to overdone, gaudy and even kitschy.
Types of Thai Architecture

1. Traditional Thai Architecture

 Religious Structures
Built and patronised by the royal families of Thailand, the architecture of the kingdom would display extensive
ornamentation and intricate details into the work. Most of the temples built were dedicated to either Buddha or the
various Hindu Gods. Different symbols used in the designs are representations of the specific culture and religion, as well
as the belief system of the devotees.
 Secular Structures
These include the constructions which are not related to any religion and include mostly traditional Thai houses
depicting its architecture. Thai architecture has evolved throughout the years. However, the basic idea continues to be
the same. It would depend upon the materials used and above all, superstitious beliefs. It was vital to have a guardian
spirit house along with the residence to keep the evil away.

2. Modern Thai Architecture

In the present era, Thailand has one of the most captivating constructions in Asia. With soaring skyscrapers and huge
multi-storied malls, Thailand has entwined modernity and tradition in its establishment.

Given below are a few of the famous sites in Thailand that are emblematic and brilliantly showcase the architecture of
Thailand.

1. Prasat Hin Phimai  Build between 11th-12th century, Phimai Historical Park features
some of the most exquisite Khmer architecture of Thailand and is
the largest among all Khmer temples. These are Buddhist temples,
facing South-East direction, towards Angkor in Cambodia.
 Being constructed primarily by Hindu rulers, the temple walls
depict the stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata along with
those from the life of Budhha. These are precisely the unique
features of the temple that it forges a link between religious
identities- a Buddhist temple built by Hindu rulers.
 The temple town is a classic example of the architecture of the
Khmer empire and depicts the importance of the city during the
period it was built.
Location: Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima province
Structure of Architecture: Traditional
2. Wat Samphran Temple  While the Buddhist temple in Amphoe Sam Phran, 40 km from
Bangkok, is not a known tourist attraction, it is an impressive work
of humankind, spiralled by a massive dragon across its seventeen
stories. The dragon is hollow, allowing visitors to walk through it,
although many sections are in ruins.
 The interior of the temple comprises of magnificent shrines and
statues, one of which is a stunning bronze statue of Budhha.
 However, details such as the architect, the year of construction etc.
about this marvel of architecture remain anonymous, to this day.
Location: Khlong Mai, Sam Phran District, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand
Structure of Architecture: Traditional

3. Wat Phra Kaew  Wat Phra Kaew officially called Wat Phra Si Rattana Sarsadaram
and locally known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is revered
as the most sacred Buddhist site in Thailand. The Budhha, sitting
in a meditating posture, is about 66 centimetre in height and carved
from single jade stone. It was enshrined at the Wat Phra Kaew in
1782 during the reign of King Rama I.
  The Wat Phra Kaew consists of several buildings that have gone
through various stages of architectural experimentation of the
Rattanakosin style or the old Bangkok style. The Indian
architecture has influenced the entire structure in the sense that it
has similar ‘yakshis’ guarding the temple gates as well as floral
motifs. Frescos displaying the life of the Buddha have been
incorporated in later constructions over the years while the original
work of orange and green tiles, marble and mosaic pillars have
been retained.
Location: Na Phra Lan Rd, Khwaeng Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang,
Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
Structure of Architecture: Traditional
4. Elephant Tower  The Elephant Tower, inaugurated in 1997 and influenced by the
country’s national animal, was ranked 4th by CNN as ‘20th
World’s Iconic Skyscrapers’ in February 2011.
 A 102-metres tall structure with 32 floors, the Elephant Tower was
designed by a collaboration between Ong-at Satrabhandhu and Dr
Arun Chaisaree. It is a collection of offices, residential suites, bank,
shopping centres etc.
 While the three towers of the building, which are Tower A, B and
C make up the shape of the body of the elephant, the right edge
displays the eyes and the tusk. The building has come to symbolise
the post-modern architecture and the technological aspect of the
millennial era.
Location: Chatuchak, Bangkok, Thailand
Structure of Architecture: Modern
5. King Power MahaNakhon  MahaNakhon, the tallest building in Thailand until 2018, was
designed by Ole Scheeren and was opened in 2016 with 78 floors
and a height of 314 metres.
 With many residences, hotel and retail, giving the appearance of a
glass-curtained square wrapped within a spiral of cut cuboids,
MahaNakhon is an extraordinarily designed architectural wonder.
It seems to be dissolving downwards towards its base.
 MahaNakhon refers to ‘Great Metropolis’ in Thai, and the name
suits the structure that seems to integrate with the city as though
moving between the sky and the ground.
Location: 114 Naradhiwat Rajanagarindra Rd, Khwaeng Silom, Khet
Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
Structure of Architecture: Modern

Despite such innovative designs towards modernised architecture, Thailand is a blend of culture that attempts
to preserve its heritage through its architectural styles. Massive restoration works are being undertaken by the
government as well as private groups to preserve the existing practices. The architecture of Thailand is a wonder that
must be visited whenever you are in the country. A brief knowledge about the background would be helpful whenever
you are in the place to appreciate it better.

CAMBODIA
Architecture
Cambodia Architecture - synonymous with Khmer architecture

The architecture and construction field in Cambodia is a main priority and a basic foundation of social development.
Cambodia has a great history in the field of architecture. Cambodian architecture has become synonymous with Khmer
architecture and more precisely to the iconic constructions of Angkor temples during the growth and peak of Khmer
Empire. 

The architecture and construction field in Cambodia is a main priority and a basic foundation of social
development. Cambodia has a great history in the field of architecture. Cambodian architecture has become
synonymous with Khmer architecture and more precisely to the iconic constructions of Angkor templesduring the
growth and peak of Khmer Empire.
 Angkor Temple

There are over a hundred major architectural sites to be visited in and around Siem Reap – the religious remains
of a series of cities built from the 7th to the 13th centuries. Most temples were built in eastern orientation, a sort of
glorification of the rising sun, could be considered as a manifestation of the sun cult so favored in ancient civilizations.
Many were built as temple-mountains or pyramids, symbolic of the cosmic Mount Meru of Hindu mythology. As the
residence of gods, the temples were made up of more endurable materials such as the bricks, laterites and sandstones.  
Numerous stones were carved with artistic craftsmanship to portray the gods and the deities, the epics of Mahabharata
and Ramayana, as well as the important events of Khmer history.  For the temples dedicated to Buddhism, the
architecture is prominent with stone carving related to the stories of Lord Buddha and his teachings.

Stone carving

Typically, traditional houses of the Khmer people are rectangular two-storey buildings. The basic structure
consists of a wooden frame, the wall is made up of either the straws or the bamboo with the roof covered with the
thatched leaves of dry coconut palms. As well as providing a living and working area, the building serves as a shelter,
which is of vital importance in the everyday life of a home in a rural setting that is exposed to the elements. The
architecture of the dignitaries' houses and the palaces was different in sizes, layouts and dimensions. The materials used
to build the house consisted of stronger wooden planks, generally made up of teakwood, and the roof was covered with
tiles for the inner rooms and with thatched leaves for the outer corners. These differences clearly identified the classes
of the people.

Led by architect Vann Molyvann and under the close patronage of King Norodom Sihanouk, "New Khmer
Architecture" flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. Elements of Western modernism were blended with well-recognized
Cambodian motifs and traditional Southeast Asian architecture built in harmony with the tropical climate.

A visual journey into Khmer architecture will help you understand the structure of the Angkor sanctuaries and temples.  

MYANMAR
Architecture
The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, also known as Burma, is a sovereign state in Southeast Asia bordered by
Bangladesh, India, China, Laos, and Thailand. Both the names “Burma” and “Myanmar” are derived from the name of
the Bamar  ethnic group. The name Burma has been in use in English since the 18th century; however in 1989, the
country’s military government officially changed the country’s name from Burma to Myanmar. The renaming remains a
contested issue, and many political and ethnic opposition groups and countries continue to use “Burma” because they
do not recognize the legitimacy of the ruling military government. Burma continues to be used in English by the
governments of many countries, such as Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Official United States policy retains
Burma as the country’s name, although both are sometimes used interchangeably.

Burmese art has been influenced primarily by Theravada Buddhism and the culture of the Mon people, with
additional influences from India, Thailand, and China. Themes are commonly drawn from Buddhist and Hindu cosmology
and myths. Burma is particularly renowned for its richness of Buddhist architecture, and is justifiably called “The Land of
Pagodas ,” as Buddhist monasteries and gilded pagodas dot the landscape.

Stupa-style Temples
During the Pagan period, the stupa developed into a longer, more cylindrical form than its Pyu predecessors at
Sri Ksetra. By the 11th century, it had assumed a bell-like form, surmounted by a series of increasingly smaller rings
placed one on top of the other and rising to a point. A lotus or banana-bud topped these rings. Three or four rectangular
terraces served as the base for a pagoda, often decorated by a gallery of terracotta tiles depicting the Jataka tales . One
of the earliest examples of Pagan temple architecture is the Shwezigon Pagoda in Nyaung-U. It is considered a prototype
of Burmese stupas and consisted of a bell-shaped goldleaf-gilded stupa surrounded by smaller temples and shrines.

Shwezigon pagoda: Completed in 1102 CE, this is one of the earliest examples
of Pagan stupa-style Buddhist temples. It is marked by a solid, bell-shaped stupa.
Brick and stucco are used in temple structures. Monastaries are built of wood, and of modern materials in cities.
Usually, the pagodas are covered by layers of gold leaf. Pyatthat is a multi-tiered and spired roofing style usually used in
the architecture of Myanmar.

Survey of India Collections: Burma Circle, 1903-07.

What is the most familiar team sports to you? Have you experienced playing it? Share your thoughts.

Basketball
Nature and Background of Basketball
Basketball is a team sport, wherein the objective is to shoot a ball through a basket horizontally positioned to
score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a
basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. A regulation
basketball hoop consists of a rim 18 inches in diameter and 10 feet high mounted to a backboard. A team can score a
field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores two points for the shooting
team if a player is touching or closer to the basket than the three-point line, and three points (known commonly as a 3-
pointer or three) if the player is behind the three-point line. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins,
but additional time (overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a draw. The ball can be advanced on the court
by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling) or throwing (passing) it to a team mate. It is a violation to move
without dribbling the ball (travelling), to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling (double
dribble).
Various violations are generally called "fouls". Disruptive physical contact (a personal foul) is penalized, and a
free throw is usually awarded to an offensive player if he is fouled while shooting the ball. A technical foul may also be
issued when certain infractions occur, most commonly for unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of a player or coach. A
technical foul gives the opposing team a free throw, and the opposing team is also retained possession of the ball.
Basketball has evolved many commonly used techniques of shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding, as well as
specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures (player positioning) and techniques. Typically, the
tallest members of a team will play "center", "power forward" or "small forward" positions, while shorter players or
those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed play "point guard" or "shooting guard". While competitive
basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. Competitive
basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on a carefully marked and maintained basketball court, but less regulated
variations are often played outdoors in both inner city and remote areas.

History
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator, and physician James
Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when he was an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training
School (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he
organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved elements of American football,
soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach
baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to
Canada and other parts of the world, played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game.
U.S. servicemen in World War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries.
A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between about 1893 and 1895. In 1934 the first college games
were staged in New York City's Madison Square Garden, and college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By
the 1950s basketball had become a major college sport, thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional
basketball.
The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation
and to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five years before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of
loosely organized leagues throughout the northeastern United States. One of the first and greatest pro teams was the
Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They played as many as 150 games a season and dominated
basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters, founded in 1927, a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing
court antics and expert ball handling.

In 1949 two subsequent professional leagues, the National Basketball League (formed in 1937) and the
Basketball Association of America (1946) merged to create the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics,
led by their center Bill Russell, dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro teams from
coast to coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt Chamberlain, a center for the Los Angeles Lakers,
was another leading player during the era, and his battles with Russell were eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
also a center, came to prominence during the 1970s. Jabbar perfected his famed "sky hook" shot while playing for the
Los Angeles Lakers and dominated the opposition.
The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was resuscitated, principally through the
growing popularity of its most prominent players. Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, and Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles
Lakers are credited with injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior skills and decade-long
rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rose to stardom and helped the Bulls dominate the
NBA during the early 1990s. A new generation of basketball stars, including Shaquille O'Neal of the Orlando Magic and
Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained the NBA's growth in popularity.
In 1959 a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its rosters include the names of
great players, coaches, referees, and people who have contributed significantly to the development of the game.
