Wat Preah Keo Morakot (Silver Pagoda) is located in the southern
portion of the Royal Palace complex. The pagoda was formerly
known as Wat Uborsoth Rotannaram because it is where the King
worshiped, prayed and practiced every Buddhist Silas Day. In the
additional, the royal family and officials also held Buddhist
ceremonies there.This pagoda has no monks. However, this
Majestic King Norodom Sihanouk lived there for one year when he
entered the monkhood on July 31, 1947. Because the pagoda has no
monks, visitors usually refer to it as Preah Vihear Preah Keo
Morakot. When the King celebrates Buddhist ceremonies, monks
from other pagoda such as Wat Unaloam and Wat Botumvattey are
invited to attend the ceremonies. Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morakot
was built between 1892 and 1902, during the region of King
Norodom, but at that time it was constructed of wood and brick.
Its design is base on Cambodian architectural style. Then
Banhchos Khan Seima ceremony was held on Feb 5, 1903. |
