Wat Tong Pu in Lopburi Thailand - Restored Ancient Temple - 2024
Wat Tong Pu is situated in the Lopburi province. The term Tong Pu means the place for soldiers to muster before battle. Wat Tong Pu is considered an ancient Maha Nikaya Mon temple in Lopburi.
It's unknown when it was built but it was restored in the reign of King Narai during the Ayuttaya period. Some characteristics of the Mon and the Laos people has apparently influenced the artistry such as the Cabinets for the Tripitaka in the temple hall and the gilded black lacquer door panels of the wihan.
This ancient temple is very significant as a religious site from the Ayutthaya period. The temple is still in good excellent and there are monks still in residence.
The base of the wihan is a lotus flower shaped pedestal for the Buddhist image where the statue of the Buddha is meditating in Khmer-Lopburi style. The stone boundary markers, the sermon hall has a curved base, lancet windows and curve roofing tiles. These are all architectural styles used during the reign of King Narai.
The stupa is similar to the stupa of Wat Manee Chonkant nearby in Lopburi. The laterite Buddha image with a Naga over his head enshrined inside the wihan and the principle Buddha image of the temple are of the Ayutthaya style sculptures.
Lopburi has many things to see and is a great part of Thailand. This temple is well maintained and a nice look into the history of the region.
