Wat Srisuphan, Chiang Mai,Thailand
Wat Srisuphan is loated on Waulai Road, Hai ya Sub-District, Muang District, Chiang Mai also known as the Silver Temple
Wat Sri Suphan, It was built in the reign of King Mueang Kaeo of Mangrai dynasty in 1500 (2043 B.E.) by consecration of Phrachao Ched Tue or Phra Phutthapatihan Buddha image. The later construction of the ordination hall and Phra Wihan Borommathai Chedi took place in 1509, when the ceremonial site of the hall was established together with the reestablishment of the Buddha image.
However, the old structure is now replaced by the silver
ordination hall due to dilapidation.The architecture is built in Lanna style of
masonry and the aluminium-and-silver decoration over delicate carving. This
three-dimension art portrays stories of Buddhism, dharma puzzles, and the
history of the temple with purposes not only to preserve the religion, conserve
the local wisdom of silverware, but also to boast the pride of Lanna kingdom
for generations to come.
