Description: |
|
Wat Kradang-Nga Buppharam was probably built in Ayudhaya Era as
its structure and materials are Ayudhaya-style. The founder of
the temple was possibly a right-hand of the King
Mahathammarachathirat, the father of King Naresuan, in order to
expiate his sins committed during the wars. He also got ordained
as a Buddhist monk at this temple and was called “Luang Pho
Ueng”. Bone ashes of the soldiers are kept here. Today, a statue
of Luang Pho Ueng is enshrined in the vihara. It was said that
the King Naresuan’s troop once stopped and took a rest at this
temple before going to Phitsanulok province. Unfortunately,
during the stay, his right hand died, so the King Naresuan had
to ask local people to join the troop.
The outstanding
feature of this temple is not only its history, but also the Bot
which was built in modern style on the foundation of the old
sermon hall. In addition, you can find a bell-shaped pagoda from
early Ayudhaya era.
Today, it has been registered as a national archaeological site.
In front of the pagoda, there is an ancient Bot of which roof is
covered by clay tiles and the wooden door of Bot is meticulously
carved. Besides, there is Luang Pu Chin statue, which is highly
revered by the local people, is enshrined inside.
