Wat Ketkaram, a temple for people born in the year of the dog, Chiang Mai

#Prepare to travel to Hong Kong "Phra That Kesa Kaew Chulamani" Wat Ketkaram A temple for people born in the year of the dog, Chiang Mai province Anyone born in the year of the dog must come to Wat Ketkaram because this is the pagoda for people born in the year of the dog. According to the beliefs of northern Lanna people, once in a lifetime, one should travel to pay homage to the pagoda of their birth year for good fortune. Originally, people born in the year of the dog had to pay homage at Phra That In Kew, Mon State, Burma. However, since they could not travel abroad, they could pay homage to the pagoda at Wat Ketkaram, Chiang Mai instead. This temple is located on the banks of the Ping River. According to history, it was built by Phraya Sam Fang Kaen in 1971, but the pagoda collapsed in 2121. Phra Sutho ordered it to be rebuilt as a pagoda in the Lanna style. In addition, inside the temple there is a large chapel built in the Rattanakosin period and a museum of local utensils for visitors to see. The highlight of the temple is the Chulamani pagoda or Wat Ket pagoda, which is enshrined in the Daowadungsa heaven. It is a pagoda that enshrines the royal robes and the crown of Prince Siddhattha, which he abandoned when he became a monk. It is also where the Buddha's crystal tooth relic is kept after the royal cremation. * Worship of the relic (chant Namo 3 times) Tavatimsaaya Puramme Kesa Chula Mani Sarirapabpaata Puchita Sappa Thewanang Tangsirasa Dhat Uttamang Ahang Vandami Sappata ⏱️ 06.00-18.00 hrs. #NorthernTourism #ChiangMaiTourism #NorthernThailand #PhraThatForYourBirthYear #WatKetKaraam #ChiangMai #VisitChiangMai #Worship #PhraThatKesaKaewChulamani #WhereToGoWhenWakingUp
