This temple is
located in Tambon Khun Khlon, 28 kilometres
north of the town, turn left 1 km. before
arriving in Phra Phutthabat district. The
important historical site here is “Lord
Buddha’s Footprint " that was found on
a stone panel near Suwan Banpot Hill or
Satchaphanthakhiri Hill. Lord Buddha’s
Footprint measures 21 inches wide, 5 feet
long, and 11 inches deep. The footprint was
discovered during the reign of King Songtham
of Ayutthaya. The footprint had 108
religious aspects, so he commanded a
temporary Mondop be built to cover the
footprint and it has been refurbished
several times.
The Mondop is a square building, has a
seven-tier castle roof and each is roofed
with green glazed tiles. Each level is
decorated with an arch supported by wood,
gold and colored glasses. The external walls
are also decorated with gold and coloured
glasses in the shapes of mythological gods
and lotus top. The pearl inlaid artwork on
the Mondop doors represents one of the best
craftsmanship in the country. The Mondop
entrance has three Naga (mythicalserpents)
stairs, each conveying the meaning of
silver, gold, and glass stairs that stretch
from the heavens. A five-headed Naga cast in
bronze flanks the stairs. The Mondop is
surrounded by bells, which visitors can rap
to make merit. The surrounding ubosot and
vihara were built according to the
architecture of the Ayutthaya and early
Rattanakosin periods.
In the temple compound there is the Phra
Phutthabat National Museum which
displays various precious artifacts
including King Songtham’s attire, ceramics,
bronzeware, old weapons, a replica of Lord
Buddha’s footprint, an old Mondop top, “Phat
Yot” (ecclesiastical fans) from various
periods, and the pipe dating from the King
Narai period. The Phra Phutthabat Festival
is held twice a year, during the eighth day
of the waxing moon until the first day of
the waning moon in the third month and the
fourth month of the lunar calendar.
Bo Phran Lang Nuea is a small
stone well near the temple. At the mouth of
the well are knee prints. There are stone
slopes and a deep hole the size of a milk
can near the well. The water that flows from
the hole is believed to be holy water.
According to legend, Bun, a hunter who found
Lord Buddha’s Footprint, washed game meat at
this well by kneeling down and the small
hole was made from his spear which was stuck
into the ground. There is a continuous flow
of water from the well.
