Description: |
|
Wat Si Suphan (Si Suphan Temple) is located on Wualai Road,
Tambon Hai Ya, Amphoe Mueang of Chiang Mai Province. It was
built in the reign of King Mueang Kaeo of Mangrai dynasty in
1500 (2043 B.E.) by consecration of Phrachao Ched Tue or Phra
Phutthapatihan Buddha image. The later construction of the
ordination hall and Phra Wihan Borommathai Chedi took place in
1509, when the ceremonial site of the hall was established
together with the reestablishment of the Buddha image. However,
the old structure is now replaced by the silver ordination hall
due to dilapidation.
The architecture is built in Lanna style
of masonry and the aluminium-and-silver decoration over delicate
carving. This three-dimension art portrays stories of Buddhism,
dharma puzzles, and the history of the temple with purposes not
only to preserve the religion, conserve the local wisdom of
silverware, but also to boast the pride of Lanna kingdom for
generations to come.
