Hello everyone. How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family. This post, I will take my friends to see a temple in the art style of the Tai Yai people. Another ethnic group in Thailand. This temple is called Wat Ton Rung. This temple is a 100 year old temple in my district. This trip, I visited this temple with my wife last week. Before I take everyone the atmosphere at Wat Ton Rung, I want to share some information about the temple.
Brief information about the temple. Wat Ton Rung is a common monastery of the Tai Yai community. The temple was officially permitted to be established as a temple in AD 1923 or 102 years ago. The temple received royal granting of the land to a particular temple by announcing in royal decree in AD 1969 or 56 years ago. And in AD 1993, or 32 years ago, the temple was renovated.
The atmosphere inside Wat Ton Rung. This temple was built beautifully and is a temple with a unique TaiYai art style and outstanding. Different from Thai temples. When you arrive at this temple, you will see the gold color entrance arch in Tai Yai art style. When you arrive at this temple, you will see the gold color entrance arch with two standing deity statues and two seated deity statues on a pillar at the entrance in Tai Yai art style. Looks beautiful and unique.
The temple sign (TaiYai art too) is on the side of the arch.
When you enter the temple, there is a courtyard with trees. In front is a large buddha image hall (viharn). This buddha image hall (viharn) is made of Thai wood in the Tai Yai art style. There is no decoration, Looks simple and unique, different from Thai buddha image hall (viharn). And the entrance to the buddha image hall (viharn) has a large arch that resembles an ancient castle.
Inside the buddha image hall (viharn) is a wide hall with three main buddha images. The central buddha image is a buddha image in the royal attire with TaiYai art style. The buddha image on the left is made of emerald. And the buddha image on the right is buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara. The three main buddha images look beautiful. And the decoration of the area behind the three buddha images is also beautiful.
