This beautiful temple was built by an order of Chao
Jettabutrabhrama in 1602 A.D. after he ruledNanfor six years.
Its name was originally “BhramaTemple” but it later called
inaccurate toPhuminTemple.
Its unique design
makes this temple become the most interesting temple inNan. The
reason is the style of main building which is both ubosot and
vihara (Buddhist monastery) that is really unique northern
architecture. It is believed to be the first 4-portico vihara
inThailandthat has built like it’s on the back of two Nagas.
Inside are full of fascinating Lanna architectures and arts. The
main pillar stands in the center of vihara has four Sukhothai
style Buddha statues placed on the base facing off each four
directions of the vihara that stands crossing east, west, north
and south. No matter visitors enter which entrance they will
face the beautiful Buddha statue’s face. The doors are
delicately carved in splendid designs by Lanna craftsmen.
This temple is
also a home ofThailand’s famous ancient wall murals called Pu
Man, Ya Man which appears on the wall paintings, in Tai Lue
style. It is considered highly valuable. It depicts legends
concerning the Lord Buddha as well as local legends and the
local way of life including native attires, weaving and commerce
with foreign countries. Archeologists believed that these
beautiful wall murals were created during the major restoration
in 1867.
