Description: |
|
Phra Tad Yaku or Phra Tad Yai is an ancient remain found in the
area of Muang Fah Daed Song Yang, where many ancient remains
were found there. Phra Tad Yaku is located in Tambol Nong Pan,
Amphur Kamalasai, Kalasin. The tourists can travel by taking the
highway 214 from Kalasin to Roi-Ed which is around 19 kilometers
or from Amphur Kamalasai take the street in front of Kamalasai
School for around 6 kilometers to Saema junction, then turn
right to the gravel road for around 500 meters.
Phra Tad
Yaku is the biggest Chedi in the Muang Fah Daed Song Yang. The
foundation is in a square shape decorated with plaster work.
There are stairs on the 4 directions. It is the architectural
style of Dvaravadee Kingdom. Next to it is an 8-cubic Chedi
which was built according to the Chedi style in the Ayudhaya
Kingdom. The bell and the tip were built according to the
Rattanakosin Kingdom’s architectural style. From the 3
architectural style combination, it is assumed that this Chedi
was built during the Dvaravadee Kingdom. Then, it was ruined as
time passed. During the Ayudhaya Kingdom, a Chedi was built on
top of the old one and during the Rattanakosin Kingdom, the tip
was added.
Inside the Chedi, the villagers believed that
the ash of the popular monk was located. This was noticed
because during the defeat of Chiangsom of the war, they
destroyed all the works in Muang Fah Daed Song Yang except Phra
Tad Yaku. Therefore, the villagers held a worshipping festival
for this Chedi during April to May in order to ask for the rain
and peace for the village. If you have a chance to visit this
city, it is worth your visit.
