Wat Suae or Wat Sena Sanaram - First Class Royal Temple - Ayutthaya 2024
This ancient Temple, which is located behind Chankasem Palace houses two Buddha images that were transferred from Vientiane.
Wat Senasanarama Rajvaravihara was originally named 'Wat Sue', which was established during Ayutthaya period and restored during the King Rama IV reign. It's a prior royal Temple.
Highlights inside the temple are the ubosot in the Ayutthaya style, with a beautiful carved wood gable covered with gold and a signet of the King Rama IV. This indicates that the temple was restored by the former Thai king.
Inside the ubosot, there are paintings from King Rama V era, including the painting of the gathering of the angels, the painting of 12th month royal ceremony, and a photo of the king wearing the Phra Maha Pichai crown and sitting at the throne.
Inside the ubosot is an important Buddha image covered in gold, Phra Sumbhud Munee which is the attitude of subduing Mara. Decorated with an arch carved with Khmer writing.
There is also a reclining Buddha image next to the Chedi, made with stone lined up one by one and carved neatly. This reclining Buddha used to seat at Wat Maha Tat but King Rama V ordered the placement of the Buddha image here instead.
Next to a reclining Buddha image there is a transform Indra Vihear. Inside is the Buddha image in the attitude of subduing Mara from Vieng Chan. It was believed that Indra transformed to build this Buddha image.
There are 2 stone pulpits covered in gold, paintings from King Rama IV reign which show how people of the era lived and their daily life around the temples. There are also 10 paintings of animals which are prohibited for monks to eat.
The temple is worth an hour if your time exploring what it has to offer.
