Description: |
|
Wat Prayurawongsawat Worawihan was built since 1828.
Uposatha or Ordination Hall is a beautiful building in Thai
architectural style consisting of brick and stucco, measuring
18.24 by 25.20 metres. Its important architectural features are
its pediments with intricate wood-carvings depicting phuttan
flowers. There are an entrance and an exit at the front and back
of the Uposatha. Its roof consists of glazed tiles, whilst
within the Uposatha, there are mural paintings behind the
principal Buddha-image portraying scenes from the life of the
Buddha. On the surrounding walls, there were mural paintings
depicting the various Jatakas or the Buddha’s birth stories.
Unfortunately, these mural paintings of the Jataka stories were
destroyed during World War II when the Memorial Bridge was
air-raided and the roof of the Uposatha was partially damaged by
a huge bomb, thereby causing rain-water to seep in and
irreparably destroy them. |
