Description: |
|
Legend says the principal Buddha image at this temple was cast
contemporaneously during Lord Buddha’s lifetime, its early years
stretching back to mythic times over 2,500 years ago. According
to lore, once locals constructed the image, and it was to be
fitted to the traditional base, the image could not be lifted
despite all attempts. The image’s name, “Phrachao Nang Din”or
“image seated upon the ground”, was thus created and its story
passed on through the ages. The statue retains the unique
feature of remaining unadorned by the typical Buddhist base.
WatPhrachao Nang Din is at 45 Mu 7, TambonWiang, 4
kilometers from AmphoeMueang along Highway No. 1148. The
temple is open daily from 8.00 am-5.00 pm. |
