28 Buddhas, one of them in Thailand

#tripdiscount 🏚Wat Apsorn Sawan Worawihan, a third-class royal temple, was formerly known as Wat Moo. It is an ancient temple built since the Ayutthaya period. 🐷 According to legend, the builder was Wu the Chinese, who built it on land that was previously used to raise pigs. When it was finished, many pigs came to wander around. 🙏 Later, King Rama III restored it and named it Wat Apsorn Sawan. He also granted "Luang Pho Samo", a Buddha image in the posture of eating a sesame, to be the principal Buddha image in the ordination hall. 💥 Currently, it is kept and will be invited out for the public to pay homage only on special occasions. 🙏 The Buddha image in the posture of eating a sesame is a Buddha image in the Chinese style, beautiful and majestic, and is revered by the people of Luang Prabang and Vientiane. It was invited from Vientiane. 🏰 The structure of the ordination hall and the temple is still the same in Chinese art, imitating Wat Ratcha-oros. 🙏Inside the chapel, there are 28 principal Buddha images, all cast in the Mara-Vijaya posture, all resembling each other and the same size, enshrined on the same pedestal. 🙏The names of all 28 Buddha images are inscribed on the base, including Phra Tanhangkorn, Phra Methangkorn, Phra Saranankorn, Phra Theepangkorn, Phra Kondanna, Phra Mangkala, Phra Sumana, and Phra Kodom. 🏠The Tripitaka Hall is in the Ayutthaya period. 💥Wat Apsorn Sawan Worawihan: Thet Thai 49 Road, Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen Subdistrict, Phasi Charoen District, Bangkok 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ReHhQBV6RMc2VYYM7 🕖Opening - closing hours: 07.00 - 18.00 hrs. #Bangkok attractions #Bangkok #Visit Bangkok
