Description: |
|
During the end of year 1966, the Buddhist and Cultural
Supporting Committee of Kalasin province with Mr.Buri
Promlakkano as the chairman agreed to build a big Buddha Statue
in the position of subduing Mara with the lap measure at 10.5
meters on the southern side of Phu Singh mountain. This Buddha
Statue was planned to be the center of the Buddhist in Kalasin
province and for the auspiciousness of the province. Building
this Buddha Statue was considered a big project since it was a
cooperation between the villagers and the monks in the province
and nearby province as well. The groundbreaking ceremony was on
14th April 1968 according to the astrologer and the abbot of Wat
Chakrawatdirachawat (Wat Sam Pluem).
The word “Phra
Puttapatimakorn” when combined with the word “Prom” (meaning
Dhamma) into “Phra Prom Pumpalo” has the meaning as the great
one with Dhamma to protect the city. In the celebration ceremony
of this statue, his Excellency Deputy Prime Minister Prapat
Jarusatian and the Ministry of the Interior during that time
were the chairmen of the ceremony and the leader to perform the
Buddha’s ash containing ceremony in order to emphasize the
sacredness of this statue.
Nowadays, Phra Prom Pumpalo is
in the responsibility of the monks and the government officials
in Sahatkun district. The monks determined this place as an
accommodation for monks named “Puttawat” with Father
Siripattanited, the prior of Wat Traipoom, as the chairman. It
is also the center of Buddhist and meditation center for the
Buddhist. Being up here, the view of the Chonlapratan Dam is
visible and also the city of Nonburi. On the east side is the
view of Phu Por, Phu Kaow, Phu Peng and Phu Kum Kaow compared
like the garden. On the west side is the Kan Toh mountain in
Amphur Ta Kan Toh which is also the sunset view point.
There are 2 routes to travel up this mountain which are the 299
steps of stairs and the 3 kilometers pavement. In each year,
there is the Tak Bat Thevorohana Ceremony, which is a big event
of Kalasin province. Many Buddhist in Kalasin and nearby
provinces join this event. |
