Wat Borom Phuttharam วัดบรมพุทธาราม - Monastery of the Grand Buddha - Ayutthaya Thailand 2024
Wat Borom Phuttharam วัดบรมพุทธาราม
Wat Borom Phuttharam or the Monastery of the Grand Buddha is a restored ruin from the Late Ayutthaya period. The site consists of an ordination hall (ubosot), sermon hall (vihara) and two main chedis.
The ordination hall is 40 meter long and 11 meter wide, divided into 3 sections. The ubosot houses a sandstone Buddha image in meditation posture. The temple was also known as Wat Krabueang Khlueap, the glaze-tiled temple referring to the yellow glazed-tile roof of the ordination hall. Pieces of these tiles can still be found in and around Khlong Chakrai Noi and in its vicinity.
King Phetracha had it constructed in 1689 in the area of his home town, named Patong District. It took 2 years to complete construction.
King Borommakot gave the order to restore this temple completely. Three new doors inlaid with mother-of-pearl were added. The doors bear an inscription describing their commissioning for Wat Borommaphuttharam in 1751.
The doors were presumably removed after the destruction of Ayutthaya in 1767. One pair of the doors was installed in 1939 at the scripture library (Hor Phra Monthien Dharma) from Wat Phra Kaew or the Royal Monastery of the Emerald Buddha; another pair of doors was set up at Wat Benjamabophit Dusitharam, both in Bangkok. The third and last set of doors was cut down to remove the damaged parts, made into a cabinet and is exhibited in Bangkok's National Museum.
The temple was once a very impresive structure and you can still see part of what it looked like today. Well worth a short visit.
