Phra Pathom Chedi is the oldest Buddhist monument in Thailand. It is located in a region where Buddhism was first introduced here by Sona Thera and Uttra Thera in the fourth Buddhist century. The present shape of Phra Pathom Chedi differs from the original one which was that of an overturned bowl in the Indian stupa style.
"Phra Pathom Chedi" was in ruins for a long time until King Mongkut (Rama IV), still a monk, went on a pilgrimage to Phra Pathom Chedi which was 84 meters high at that time. When he ascended the throne, he decided to restore the Chedi by covering it with a new one. The four wiharn and the cloister were built during his reign: work began in 1853 and was completed during the reign of King Rama IV who added a new structure, the "Belfry" to this monastery; then the royal wiharn was restored as well as the replica of the former chedi and the mural paintings and a new one was erected to house a standing Buddha image named Phra Ruan Rojanariddhi Sri Indradhit Dharmopas Maha Vajiravuth Raj Pujaniyapborpit. Finally the new ordination hall was built during the reign of King Rama VII.
Phra Pathom Chedi, which is 120 meters high, contains relics of the LordBuddha. During the twelfth Lunar month which is in November, there is an annual fair within the walls of this monastery and Buddhists congregate to pay homage to this holy chedi
In Buddhism, the Pagoda or Chedi is a place for Buddhists to pay homage to the Lord Buddha. a solid tapering tower, usually round and broad based, rising to a point. Important chedi normally house relics of the Buddha, royalty or some other prominent persons. Smaller chedi are like tombstones and hold the ashes of normal people.
Phra Pathom Chedi is the tallest Buddhist pagoda both in Thailand and in the world.On approaching the city, the first glimpse of towering Phra Pathom Chedi is already impressive. The Chedi is one of the largest in the world and the holiest Buddhist structure in Thailand. Reaching to the sky for 115.8m (half an inch less than 380 feet), the cone shines like pure gold in the sunlight. The highly glazed tiles covering the dome are golden brown in color and were brought from China.
Phra Pathom Chedi is one of the most important evidences that Nakorn Pathom was the Capital city of Suvarnabhumi. If we examine the original stupa inside the Chedi (there is a replica of it situated south of the Chedi). We shall see that it was restored serveral times until its shape was completely changed. If the prang (spire) is taken away, you will see immediately that it resembles the great stupa as Sanchi which dates back to Asoka’s times. Its shape is circular like an inverted basin or cup. On top is placed a square alter crowned with a chatra (parasol). The base is also square, have a circumambient gallery and enclosure outside.
The fact that it is called Phra Pathom Chedi (The first Chedi) is also an evidence. King Mongkut (Rama IV) surmised that it probably was the first stupa to be built in this land after King Asoka had distrubuted Buddha’s relics smong various Buddhist countries. It was a big stupa, bigger than others to be found in Chiengmai, Chiengsaen, Nakorn Sridhamaraj, Laos or Cambodia. |

Wat Jet Yot was built in the mid 15th Century. The seven spires represent the seven weeks that the Buddha spent in Bodhgaya before he went out to spread his teachings. The outside wall is decorated with a stucco relief of an assembly of angels. In the grounds there is a bodhi tree much like the one that the Buddha set under during his enlightenment. As well as being an important pilgrimage site for people born in the Year of the Snake, the temple is also the historical location for the eighth world seminar on the revision of the Tripitaka in 1477 A.D. If you cannot make it to Bodhgaya in India, then this temple is a good alternative.
Wat Jet Yot, there's the seven-spired, built to an Indian model to the north-west, close to the Super Highway. The temple is celebrated for its "Indian style", but all southeast Asian culture is deeply influenced by India, both its religions and its resulting artistic forms. |
