Buddharupa
Much Buddhist art uses depictions of the historical Buddha, Gautama Buddha, which are known as () in Sanskrit and Pali. These may be statues or other images such as paintings. The main figure in an image may be someone else who has obtained Buddhahood, or a boddhisattva, especially in the various traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. Other Buddhas and bodhisattvas in art have become increasingly common over the centuries, perhaps now outnumbering images of the historical Buddha. In its first centuries Buddhism was Aniconism in Buddhism, largely or entirely aniconic, not showing the person of Buddha except by symbols and relics.

Ngan
The ''rai'', ''ngan'', and ''tarang wa'' or square ''wa'' are customary Thai units of area, used in the measurement of land. They are defined as exactly 1,600, 400, and 4 square metres, respectively (17,222, 4,306, and 43 sq ft). The ''tarang wa'' (square ''wa'', ''tarang'' meaning 'grid') is derived from the area of a square with sides of 1 '' wa'' (the Thai fathom). 1 ''ngan'' ('work') is equal to 100 square ''wa'', and 1 ''rai'' ('field' or 'plantation') equals 4 ''ngan'' or 1 square '' sen''. The units were standardised in square metres when Thailand (then Siam) adopted the metric system in 1923, although the Royal Survey Department was already reported in 1908 to be using the metre-based conversion for its cadastral maps A cadastre or cadaster ( ) is a comprehensive recording of the real estate or real property's metes-and-bounds of a country.Jo Henssen, ''Basic Principles of the Main Cadastral Systems in the World,'/ref> Often it is represented graphically in ....
