Wat Dusittharam วัดดุสิตาราม - Ayutthaya - New & Historic Temple With Drone Footage
Wat Dusittharam is located off the city island in the northeastern area. The temple is still an active temple.
Wat Dusittharam earns its name from the Sanskrit word "Tush" meaning "to be content" or "that in which all desires are satisfied". It is referring to the "Tushita Heaven", the "joyful heaven or the heavens of the joyous", the fourth Deva heaven above the earth in which the almost perfect beings, about to become Buddhas, pass their last angelic life before being born on earth to assume the Buddha hood.
The monastery's area is large, with an old and a new section. In the old part we find a large chedi, a vihara and an ordination hall or ubosot. The modern part consists of new
modern monastic structures.
The bell shaped chedi is build in the Ayutthaya style.
Once, a large vihara stood west of this tall chedi. On its ancient foundations a new open
hall has been built, sheltering some Buddha images.
On the north side stands the former ordination hall or ubosot. It was built in a mixture of the Early and Late Ayutthaya style. The structure of the ubosot is based on the Early Ayutthaya style: a small building with a single covered porch. It has the characteristics of the Late Ayutthaya style in its base, being junk or ship-shaped, the representation of "the lustrous vessel of the true law", by which Buddha would enable men to cross the ocean of transmigrating existence, and reach the other shore.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction is unknown. Some sources
state that the Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya mention that Wat Dusit was built by "Chao
Mae Wat Dusit", the wet nurse of King Narai.
Archaeological excavation indicates that this temple was repaired in the Middle Ayutthaya period or in the end of reign of King Phumintharacha or during King Borommakot's reign.
The highlights of the temple are the old Ayutthaya style building and the Chedi. It’s near many other ruins and worth a short visit to see.
