Wat Phra That Hariphunchai - Built in 897 - 1st Class Royal Temple Lamphun Thailand 2024
Wat Phra That Hariphunchai วัดพระธาตุหริภุญชัย is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Lamphun, Thailand. The temple's origins date from the 11th century but the central stupa is thought to originate in the 9th century.
According to history, in 897, King Athitayarat of the Raman Dynasty, who ruled Lamphun, built a gold urn covered with relics inside that has been reinforced in many subsequent periods.
Later, in 1443, King Tilokarat of Chiang Mai renovated the chedi to be a new Lankan style that appears today. Phra Suwan Chedi or Pathumwadi Chedi is located on the right side of Phra Borommathat and was constructed in the 12th century by Queen Pathumwadi, consort of King Athitayarat 4 years after Phra Borommathat was completed. Phra Suwan Chedi is a square prang shape of the Lavo style.
In the 1930s temple renovations were made by the northern Thai monk Khru Ba Sriwichai.
The unusual pyramid shaped, 46 m high Chedi Suwanna, in the northwest of the compound, is in the Dvaravati-style of the Haripunchai period and believed to be modeled on similar stupas at nearby Wat Chama Thewi (Wat Kukut). The chedi is featured on the reverse of the one-satang coin.
This is one of 24 first class royal temples in all of Thailand. These are special temples located in different regions of Thailand. If you are in Lamphun it’s a must see.
