Phra That Phanom, the chedi for people born on Sunday

Phra That Phanom, the sacred relic for people born on Sunday Located on the bank of the Mekong River in That Phanom District, it is believed that Phra That Phanom is the sacred relic for people born on Sunday and the relic for people born in the year of the Monkey. According to the legend of the Urankathu, when the Lord Buddha came to Phu Kham Phra and it was prophesied that his relics would be enshrined here along with the relics of the previous Buddhas that were already enshrined there, finally, after the Lord Buddha passed away, Phra Maha Kassapa actually brought the clavicle relics (the urangathu relics) to Phu Kham Phra. At that time, the five kings from the surrounding provinces came and jointly built the ‘U-Bu-Mung’ to enshrine the relics along with many valuables. Therefore, people in the Mekong River basin believe that Phra That Phanom is older than the legend of the Urankathu. 📍 That Phanom Subdistrict, That Phanom District, Nakhon Phanom Province #Travelwithtrip2024 #PhraThatPhanom #WatPhraThatPhanomWoramahawihan
