Wat Si Pradu, Mueang District, Ubon Ratchathani Province .. History: Wat Si Pradu was established in 1968. The current location of the temple was originally a cemetery for Ban Du, as Ban Du was a forested area on the outskirts of Ubon Ratchathani city at that time. .. During the 2024 Buddhist Lent Festival, the Ubon Ratchathani Municipality and the Tourism Authority of Thailand will organize the annual Candle Festival from July 17 to July 23, 2024, under the theme "Celebrating the 72nd Birthday: City of Candles, City of Dharma, Beautiful City of Four Lights" at Thung Si Muang and the main roads around Thung Si Muang, Mueang District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. .. The candle from Wat Si Pradu is a molded candle depicting the story of Lord Narayana on Garuda, escorting Prince Siddhartha and his army across the Anoma River, escaping the obstruction of Mara who transformed into a Naga.
