Huay Lad Forest Temple

Wat Pa Huai Lat, Loei Province, admire the beauty of Buddhist art in the land of Phu Ruea. Inside the temple, there is a pavilion in honor of His Majesty located at the foot of the mountain. His Majesty has granted permission to invite the royal initials, B.P.R., and the royal initials, S.K., to be placed on the pediment of this pavilion. Inside the pavilion, there is a large white principal Buddha image, 19 meters high, named “Phra Sappanyu Ru Jang Sam Daen Lok That”, made of calcite. Outside the pavilion, there is a statue of a nine-headed Naga, each head with an image of a different deity. It is believed that these Naga and other deities will protect those who come to pray to this Naga. In front of the pavilion, there are statues of various deities, such as Trimurti, the great god of Hindus, Ganesha, the god of success, and the Naga, the lord of the underworld. There is a legend that Naga are noble animals who have faith in Buddhism. Crocodiles are believed to be animals that bring good luck. And there are many other arts that blend harmoniously between art, belief, faith and the presentation of the artist's ideas that are expressed through the perspective of art. It is another temple that you must not miss when traveling to Phu Ruea. 🕍 Wat Pa Huay Lad 📍 Tambon Santam, Amphoe Phu Ruea, Loei Province #Spiritual attractions #Wat Pa Huay Lad #Loei
