Description: |
|
Wat Manorom is not the most famous temple in Luang Prabang but
it has the largest number of resident monks making it one of the
most important temples in the area.
The date upon which Wat
Manorom was founded is open to debate. One theory is that the
temple was established in the 1370s by King Samsenethai as a
place to inter his ashes when he died. A competing theory is
that Wat Manoram was established in the 1490s by King La Sen
Thai Puvanart. One clue is the temple’s giant Buddha statue
which was cast in 1370s although does not necessarily mean that
the temple was created at the same time as lots of temples in
Laos have Buddha statues from periods long before the temple
housing it was established. |
