Worship the Buddha image in the posture of relinquishing his life.

🏠Wat Srisudaram Worawihan, originally an ancient temple named Wat Cheepakhao, is believed to have been built during the Ayutthaya period. Later, Princess Srisudarak (Kaew), the elder sister of King Rama I, renovated and restored it. 🙏King Rama IV built a new ordination hall and renamed the temple Wat Srisudaram, elevating it to a third-class royal temple. 📚It is believed to be the place where Sunthorn Phu, the world-renowned poet, studied during his youth. The interesting features within the temple include: 🙏The principal Buddha image in the ordination hall, in the posture of relinquishing his life, without a topknot but with a halo, seated with both hands on his lap. 🙏Phra Sri Ariya, a bronze Buddha image in the posture of subduing Mara, enshrined in the library. 🛕Five chedis in a row behind the ordination hall and two ancient Thai-style prangs. 🏠The vihara, originally the old ordination hall, houses the principal Buddha image in the posture of subduing Mara and several other adorned Buddha images. 🙏The royal monument of Princess Srisudarak, the restorer of the temple. ♨️Wat Srisudaram Worawihan: 83 Soi Bang Khun Non 6, Bang Khun Non Road, Bang Khun Non Subdistrict, Bangkok Noi District, Bangkok. 🎯Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jDKDeoDGwAkZPn8s5 🕕Opening hours: 06:00 - 19:00
