Buddhist Graffiti?

Another odd discovery at Wat Samphanthawongsaram Worawiharn: a hidden Buddhist graffiti. The buddha is sketched on the ballustrade of a temple.

Next time I visit the temple, I’ll try to find that part again – maybe the sketch has by now been turned into a mural.

Buddhist graffiti sketch?

Also, I wonder – if this is an “illegal” graffiti – would the monks actually wipe it out? After all, it still displays the Buddha. But then, as far as I can recall, it’s quiet uncommon to see depictions of the Buddha that are nearly the ground, basically under the waistline of a person standing nearly, like in this case. And oftentimes, Thai people make a great effort of not being higher than a Buddha image – e.g. by lowering themselves.

Maybe I just got too much time on my hand to wonder about this kind of stuff, haha…
