วัดอินทร์

 Known as:        
 Description:   Wat In Temple was built in 1720. It is located at 48, Moo 2, Tombon Sao Thong Hin.

Wat In community in the past was a large community; therefore many temples were built in this area.

The temples are located next to each other to form the big temple. Every temple has its beautiful resting areas for monks. These magnificent temples are the symbols representing the stable and firm living style of ancient people and the flourishing Buddhism in the community.

Inside Wat In’s Ubosot hall is the important Buddha Image which is the principle Buddha Image in “Calling the Earth to witness” pose and made of red sandstone. The pair-pillars portraying the junk’s chine are decorated by printed cloth and stuccos which represent the Thai artisans’ skills. According to the history, they are the artworks of artisans who lived in late Ayutthaya period. Moreover, they represent the trace of gold lacquer decorated with mirrors. These show the works of high-skilled artisans in this area. The former Ubosot hall and Viharn temple were built by laying tiles made from leaf sheaf of banana tree without coating color both on the front and back. There are two layers of the roof with smooth plain

non-decorative pediments. The Ubosot hall has one entrance while the Viharn temple is an octagonal building.

Wat In is the residence of Luang Poh Pichai Panyatharo Siri who is 74 years old. He is one of

the most famous monk experts in Nonthaburi. Luang Poh Pichai wishes to reciprocate Phra Kru Nantha Vimonrat, Wat In abbot who allowed him to stay in a Buddhist monastery during the Buddhist Lent.

Thus, Laung Poh Pichai decides to renovate the temple and build the pavilion for practicing Dharma. After discussing with the abbot, Luang Poh Pichai created 3-inch Takrud, an amulet inscribed with magic words, and donated the money as the pavilion building fee which is called “Takrud Inthara Baramee”.
