The Wackiest Temples in the World

Upside-down church, Calgary:

Designed by Dennis Oppenheim, the Upside Down Church is located in Canada and it has certainly been a controversial work of art.

It was first unveiled to the public in the year 1997 during the Vancouver Biennale art fair. The sculpture have got  mixed reviews from the very beginning. Some people have labeled the sculpture a blasphemy and others think it is just out of the box! However the  one thing that most people agree on is that it most certainly attracts attention.

The church stood in Calgary for about five years but unfortunately it was removed in 2013 when the lease of the site where it stood ran out.

David Beckham Temple, Bangkok:

Situated on the right side of the Wat Pariwat main altar, there is David Beckham image, covered in gold leaf and is holding it up what is he holding? with a long row of mythical figures. This temple has now been popularly known as 'David Beckham Temple.'

The figurine crafted by a fan with the agreement of the abbot in 1998, is just 30 cm high. It has in fact replaced a Garuda, one of those mythic winged creatures, in this anonymous looking temple.
