Wat Samanrattanaram

Wat Saman Rattanaram, Chachoengsao Province 🙏 The world's largest reclining Ganesha statue stands majestically on the banks of the Bang Pakong River. It is 16 meters high and 14 meters wide. It is semi-reclining on its side on a base. The upper right hand holds a noose rope, which he uses to lead people to the path of Dharma and to escape and eliminate obstacles along the way. The upper left hand holds a hook rope, which he uses to protect and wrap around hardships. The lower right hand holds a broken tusk, a symbol of sacrifice. The upper right hand holds a lotus flower. 🐁 In front of the base of Ganesha, you will see a stucco figure of a mouse, standing with his hands cupped over his ears. According to history, Ganesha has mice as his followers. According to the beliefs of those who regularly pay homage and pray for blessings, if you want something and have it come true, whisper in the mouse's ear. This mouse follower will tell Ganesha and grant you what you want. 🪷In addition to the Ganesha statue, which is worshipped and is an important highlight of Wat Saman Rattanaram, there are many other sacred objects enshrined in the temple, such as Luang Pho To, the principal Buddha image in the ordination hall, the relics of the Lord Buddha in a lotus in the middle of the river, Phra Rahu, Bodhisattva Guan Yin in the posture of granting children, and Thao Maha Phrom. 📍 Bang Kaew Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chachoengsao Province #100WaysToVisit #WatSamanRattanaram
