Wat Klang in Amphoe Muang |
|
|
|
houses a Buddha image in black
and cast in bronze. Of fine craftsmanship, it is the main
image of the province, and during any dry spell, it is borne
aloft on a procession to plead for rain. At the base of
the image are inscribed ancient Thai letters.
In addition to
the black Buddha image, Wat Klang also houses a large replica
of the Holy Footprint made in sandstone. Moulded during
the reign of the Lawa, the Footprint used to be located
on the bank of the Lam Pao River but was removed to Wat
Klang when the bank became eroded.
