What is a Sema (Bai Sema)?
A sema is a stone that marks the boundary of a sacred ground of a temple. There are a total of eight semas that surround the Bot. Women are not allowed to enter the area that is marked by the semas – however, they often do and nobody cares.
Sema stones are usually leaf-shaped. The sema stone that you can see in the photos also depicts the dhamma wheel, an important buddhist symbol.
