Description: |
|
Ratchakhiri Hiranyaram Temple was constructed upon a hilltop
which houses two Buddha’s footprints where one is a replica and
the other is on the face of the western cliff. The temple houses
Guan Yin statue that features a thousand hands carved entirely
from white jade that was sent to the temple in 1992. Further up
the hill, you will find Heng Jia, the Monkey King which is
worshipped by Thai-Chinese visitors. Upon reaching the mountain
top, you will pass a pond that has never run dry since ancient
times. The top of the mountain is a great scenic viewpoint of
the mountain and its surrounding locations and is the site of
the Phra Mahathat Chedi Si Bowon Chinnarat, a pagoda that
enshrines the forehead bone of the Lord Buddha. The pagoda has a
lotus shaped spire with images of the walking Buddha on all
sides of the square base. A celebration of the temple is held
every year in February. |
