Description: |
|
Wat Klang is a third-class royal temple. Within the temple’s
compound, there is an Ubosot (chapel), which was once an
extension from the old building. The Thai-style Ubosot is
decorated with Chofa (gable finials) and Bai Raka (crockets).
The wooden doors are ornately carved to depict the story
of the Lord Buddha and the Buddhist theme is continued on at the
windows. There are stucco
door statues – “guardians” - in the front and at the rear. The
Ubosot houses murals depicting the story of one of the Buddha’s
past lives as a prince.
Inside the pavilion or Sala near
the Ubosot is a beautiful, black Buddha image made from bronze
with a lap 20 inches wide.
The pedestal of the image bears an inscription in ancient
Thai stating that the image was built during the period of King
Khu Na Kham. Phraya Chaisunthon designated it province’s main
Buddha statue, and it grew to be highly revered by locals.
During droughts, locals display the image in processions to beg
for rain.
This temple is located near Phraya Chaisunthon
Monument. |
