🙏🙏 Hello, all the merit-makers. Today, we will take you to see the beauty of the Buddha statue that is known as the most beautiful in the country, which is Phra Buddha Chinnarat in Phitsanulok Province.
🔎🔎 First of all, let me tell you the history of the temple.
Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan or Wat Yai is a first-class royal temple, Woramahawihan type, located in Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phitsanulok Province. It has been an important temple of Phitsanulok since the past. Evidence from the Northern Chronicles states that around the year 1900, Phra Maha Thammaracha I or Phraya Lithai, the King of Sukhothai, was very devoted to Buddhism. Therefore, he built Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat on the east bank of the Nan River along with moving Muang Song Kwae to the north, which is the current Phitsanulok City.
📚📚 Phra Buddha Chinnarat or "Luang Pho Yai" enshrined in the royal chapel is a bronze Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude. The lap is 5 cubits and 1 span and 5 inches wide and 7 cubits high. The body lines are graceful, the eyebrows are curved, and the tips of the fingers are in the shape of Teetangkuli, meaning all four fingers are the same size. It was created by craftsmen from Si Satchanalai and Hariphunchai during the same period as the construction of Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat in the Sukhothai period. It is considered the most beautiful Buddha image in Thailand and is very important to the people of Phitsanulok.
