Hello everyone. How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family. In this post, I will take my friends to see the temple again. This temple is the 106th temple in my country that I want shared with friends. This week my wife and I visited a small rural temple. This temple is called Wat Sri Pathummaram.
Our journey to the temple. We must travel on the main road (Highway 107) first. But before traveling to the temple. Wat Sri Pathummaram is quite a long way from our house. So we stopped to fill up the tank at a gas station along the way.
The atmosphere on the main road this time. The sky is clear up. There are not many cars on the road.
From the main road, we traveled on the rural roads to the temple. Through rural villages small rivers and farms.
We're almost at the temple, we will see the temple sign first. The temple is on a low hill.
And I drove up the low hill. There were two lion statues on the left and right.
When we arrived at the temple. The temple has a single wall but no arch and gate. On the wall are two lion statues and several angel statues. Some areas are under construction.
On this low hill, there are corn farms around the temple.
Wat Sri Pathummaram is a small temple with not much area. When we entered the temple, this temple only had a buddha image hall (viharn). And there is no ordination hall (ubosot). The buddha image hall (viharn) is made of bricks and spread cement on bricks with white paint, decorated with Lanna art style patterns (Another art form of northern Thailand).
The entrance stairs to the buddha image hall (viharn) have Naga statues on the left and right railing. There is also a white buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara on front of the buddha image hall (viharn).
The front balcony of this buddha image hall (viharn) has a singha statue and a large gong.
Inside the buddha image hall (viharn) is a large gold color buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara. This buddha image is the main buddha image. And there are other Buddha images too. And inside the buddha image hall (viharn) is decorated with buddhist paintings.
Behind this buddha image hall (viharn) is a large pagoda. This pagoda is a new pagoda. The pagoda was just built at the early of this year. And the pagoda is not finished yet, but looks beautiful.
In this temple there are also the small buddha images in a large pavilion. And there is a large old wood in the large pavilion too.
The temple also has a large building for religious ceremonies. And that day there was a make merit for the Northern Thai traditional festival. People gradually give the offering dedicated to the monks and performed religious ceremonies in the building. Inside this building is a large hall with many buddha images.
Beside the large building is a small pavilion with a statue of a deity.
Finally I will took friends to see the vibe of the Northern Thai tradition festival at Wat Sri Pathummaram that day. Some people are offer food to the monks in containers in a tent.
Some people prepare money trees and other things in other tents to wait religious ceremonies and offer to the monks.
Northern Thai tradition festival that day, there were also many shows. Such as northern Thai traditional dance, Northern Thai nail dance, Lion dance, Local music and parade of the Tai Yai people (Ethnic groups in Thailand).
Thai traditional dance and Northern Thai nail dance from many villages.
Local music and parade of the Tai Yai people (Ethnic groups in Thailand).
There are many shops at this traditional festival.
