Worship Phra Phuttha Thewanuramit Phichit Mara at Wat Kuhasawan.

ðŸĄ Wat Kuhasawan Worawihan is an ancient temple built during the Ayutthaya period. Originally named Wat Sala Si Na, there is no evidence of who built it. ðŸ—ŧ The temple was established and received its boundary in 1777. 🏰 Later, King Rama I ordered its restoration and elevated it to a third-class royal temple, renaming it Wat Kuhasawan Worawihan. The important and interesting features within the temple include: 🏰 The ordination hall, built when Ayutthaya was the capital, has intricately carved wooden gables on both the front and back, depicting deities in prayer. The doors and windows are adorned with gold leaf patterns. ðŸ—ŧ The boundary stones are paired and made of red sandstone, crafted by late Ayutthaya artisans. The boundary niches were added later, originally the stones were placed on a cement base. 🙏 Inside the ordination hall is the principal Buddha image, Phra Phuttha Thewanuramit Phichit Mara, in a meditation posture. 🛕 An ancient stupa, which has been with the temple for a long time, houses Buddha images facing four directions at the top. 🏠 Sala Si Na houses standing and sitting Buddha images in royal attire, as well as a statue of King Taksin the Great. 🏠 The library in the middle of the water. ðŸ’Ĩ Wat Kuhasawan Worawihan: Soi Phetkasem 28, Khwaeng Kuhasawan, Khet Phasi Charoen, Bangkok. 🌐 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QQXAvTBvjZeP8Syb6 🕕 Opening hours: 06:00 – 17:00.
