Wat Klang, Ayutthaya

Wat Klang, Ayutthaya Province 🙏A temple located next to the Pa Sak River. There is an important ancient site, a pavilion or temple, which is believed to have been built during the reign of King Rama III. It is square in shape, made of brick and mortar, with a tiled roof. Inside, on a high base in the middle of the pavilion, there is a three-dimensional simulation of the Buddha's cremation ceremony. There are murals on all four walls, telling the story of the Buddha's disciples who came to the Buddha's cremation ceremony. 🙏According to the Tripitaka, when King Malla prepared the Buddha's funeral for the cremation ceremony, the fire could not be lit. In fact, it was the intention of the gods who helped Phra Maha Kassapa and 500 other monks who were traveling to the Buddha's cremation ceremony to arrive on time. When Phra Maha Kassapa arrived, he bowed down at the end of the coffin, and then a miracle happened. The Buddha extended his feet out of the 500 layers of cloth and the coffin so that Phra Maha Kassapa and the monks could pay their respects for the last time before the fire ignited. 📍 Tambon Nakhon Luang, Amphoe Nakhon Luang, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province #NewYearNewTrip
