Wat Phra Sri Mahathat Woramahawihan, Bang Khen This temple was built as a monument to the democratic regime. It is located in the Bang Khen field area, an important historical area because it was once a battlefield between the government soldiers of the People's Party and the Boworadet rebels in 1933. 🛕 The ordination hall was inspired by the ordination hall of Wat Benchamabophit, but the pediment of the ordination hall is carved in the shape of Phra Arun Thepbut, a deity whose body is only half-bodied, which is rarely seen anywhere else. 🛕 A large white pagoda. This pagoda has its throne removed and is connected to a lotus bud. The number of lotus bud levels is 6, which corresponds to the 6 principles of the People's Party.

The Bodhi tree was originally called ‘Assattha’. Until the Buddha became enlightened under this tree, Assattha was renamed “Bodhi”. The term “Sri Maha Bodhi Tree” is used to refer to the Bodhi tree where Prince Siddhattha sat and practiced to become enlightened as the Buddha. According to the records, the Sri Maha Bodhi tree is located on the bank of the Neranjara River in Uruvela Senanikom Subdistrict, Bodh Gaya City, which is about 3,000 kilometers away from Thailand. However, in Thailand, many places refer to the Bodhi tree as the Sri Maha Bodhi tree. The Sri Maha Bodhi Tree at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat, Bang Khen, has 2 trees. It is believed that they were planted during the time of Prime Minister Field Marshal P. Phibunsongkhram and another tree by His Excellency U Nu, Prime Minister of Burma in 1955.

During the Songkran Festival, why is it necessary to bring sand into the temple? 🤔 It is assumed that the reason for bringing sand into the temple is that in ancient times, Thai people would walk around barefoot. When entering a temple, in the past, temples would pour sand for monks to walk and meditate, which is a tradition from Sri Lanka. Buddhists who entered the temple might accidentally step on it and have grains of sand stick to their feet. Therefore, during the Songkran Festival, sand is brought to offer to the temple so that they do not become indebted to the monks by taking something from the monks (i.e. sand) with them unintentionally. Will there be another sand pile this year?

Wat Phra Sri Mahathat was granted permission to be a monastery on 20 March 1941 and became a first-class royal temple, Woramahawihan type, on 30 June 1942.[1] It was built during the time when Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram was the Prime Minister. He proposed to the Cabinet to build a temple near the Monument to Protect the Constitution to commemorate the democratic regime and scheduled for completion in time for National Day, which was 24 June 1941. The Cabinet resolved to build a temple and named it Wat Prachathipatai. During the construction, Rear Admiral Thawan Thamrongnawasawat (at the time he was the rank of Captain Luang Thamrongnawasawat) traveled to India to request the relics of the Lord Buddha, including 5 branches of the Bodhi tree from the tree that was inherited from the tree where the Lord Buddha resided and attained enlightenment, along with soil from the pilgrimage sites, namely the place of birth, enlightenment, the place of the first sermon, and the place of nirvana. The government invited the relics of the Lord Buddha. The Bodhi tree branches and the soil were enshrined in the temple under construction. The temple was named Wat Phra Sri Mahathat and was dedicated as a residence on June 24, 1942.

#tripพาบินเที่ยวจีน - On September 18, 1940, Field Marshal P. Phibunsongkhram, who at that time held the rank and title of Major General Luang Phibunsongkhram and was the Prime Minister, proposed to the Cabinet meeting to approve the budget to build a temple as a memorial to the democratic regime and intended to complete it in time for National Day, which was June 24, 1941. The location to be built should be near the Monument to Protect the Constitution. He reasoned that the nation and religion are inseparable, and the principles of Buddhism are consistent with democratic regimes.

The temple houses several important structures and sacred objects, including: 🛕Phra Si Mahathat Chedi, a large round stupa enshrining the Buddha's relics. It consists of two layers: an outer large stupa and an inner smaller stupa, allowing visitors to walk around. 🏰The Ubosot (ordination hall), designed in a cruciform shape, houses the principal Buddha image, Phra Si Sumpudmuni, and features murals depicting important sacred sites.
