Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan is one of the most important and revered temples in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Located in the heart of the city's Old Town, this temple is a stunning example of Lanna-style architecture and a significant center for Buddhist worship. Built in 1345 during the reign of King Pha Yu of the Mangrai dynasty, it houses the highly venerated Phra Singh Buddha image, which gives the temple its name.
The temple complex consists of several beautifully decorated structures, including the Viharn Lai Kham, a small but intricately designed prayer hall adorned with golden murals and elaborate wood carvings. This hall houses the famous Phra Singh Buddha, a sacred image believed to have originated from Sri Lanka. The temple also features the Viharn Luang, the main assembly hall, which is larger and equally impressive with its golden Buddha statue and detailed Lanna-style decorations. Additionally, the ubosot (ordination hall) and chedis (stupas) add to the temple’s spiritual and architectural significance.
Wat Phra Singh is not only a place of worship but also a major site for Songkran Festival (Thai New Year) celebrations, where the Phra Singh Buddha image is paraded through the streets for devotees to pour water over it as a symbol of purification and blessings. The temple also serves as a hub for monk education and meditation retreats, making it an important spiritual and cultural center in Chiang Mai.
With its rich history, stunning architecture, and deep spiritual significance, Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Chiang Mai’s cultural heritage.
