Wat Makutkasatriyaram Ratchaworawihan

Wat Makut Kasatriyaram Ratchaworawihan 🙏Built according to the royal initiative of King Rama IV after digging Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem as the outer moat of the city, His Majesty graciously ordered that there be temples lined up along the canal like in Ayutthaya. Therefore, His Majesty ordered the construction of the temple alongside Wat Sommanas Ratchaworawihan. 💐Inside the temple, there are 2 levels of sema. The first level is called Maha Sima, located in a niche at the corner of the temple wall. There are also sema around the ordination hall called Khandha Sima. In a temple with 2 levels of sema like this, monks can meet to perform religious ceremonies in both the ordination hall and the viharn. 🙏The viharn and the ordination hall have the royal crown design, which is the emblem of King Rama IV, on both the pediment and the top of the door and window arches as well. 📍 Bang Khun Phrom Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok #100WaysToVisit #WatMakutKasatriyaramRatchaworawihan
