In front of the Town Hall is the Suthewa Rusi Statue.
Legend has it that the Rusi, or ascetic, was the actual
founder of Hariphunchai. As an ascetic refraining from worldly
affairs, he invited Phra Nang Chamthevi, a daughter of the
king of Lopburi, to ascend the throne and helped her to
firmly establish Buddhism in the land.
