Lao Buddhist Temples in Atlanta and Georgia - Laotian

There are several Laotian Buddhist groups in Georgia, both in Atlanta and in the more rural countryside. Lao temples (also known as Wats or monasteries, and stupas) are among the most architecturally ornate in our state, with intricate gold-plated roofs and bright red tiles. Beautiful Buddha statues adorn the inside, while painted Buddhist art and devas guard the exterior.
Lao community organizations often use portions of the temple grounds as community centers for Lao New Year festival and other Laotian cultural traditions and holidays.
