Location of 'Phra Buddha Maha Thammaracha'

🙏 Wat Trai Phum, an ancient temple in Phetchabun, is the home of the revered Buddha statue 'Phra Buddha Maha Thammaracha'. This bronze Buddha statue, in the meditation posture, is crafted in the Lopburi art style. 🏞 According to history, locals discovered this Buddha statue in the Pa Sak River in front of the temple. It was then enshrined at Wat Trai Phum. Later, the statue disappeared and was found again in the same river location. 🏞 This led to the tradition of 'Ump Phra Dam Nam', where the provincial governor carries the Buddha statue to the riverbed and emerges, repeating this in all four directions, believed to bring good fortune to the province. 🙏 During the Songkran festival each year, Phetchabun residents gather to pour water over Phra Buddha Maha Thammaracha for blessings and good fortune. ♨️ Wat Trai Phum: Phetcharat Road, Nai Mueang Subdistrict, Mueang Phetchabun District, Phetchabun Province. 🎯 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/X3oqWEMS6TuPCufT7 🕘 Opening hours: 09:00 - 17:00.
