Wat Sri Ihyam (วัดศรีเอี่ยม)
Thai. ‘Majestic Fresh
Temple’. Name of a Buddhist temple in
Bangkok's
khet
of Bang Na, located on the intersection of the Bang Na-Trat
Road and
Sri Nagarindra
Road.
Uniquely,
the temple's
ubosot,
which in Thai is usually referred to as
bot,
is built on top of the larger, yet
inside
somewhat
duller
wihaan.
Whereas the
Phra prathaan
of the wihaan consists of a
Buddha image
in the
pahng samahti
or
meditation
pose, the
main Buddha image of the ubosot is seated in the
bhumisparsa
or
maravijaya
pose.
The bot, which is smaller but much more elaborate than the wihaan,
has colourful murals, depicting scenes from
Buddhism
and from the
jataka
(fig.).
Also transliterated
Wat Sri Iam, Wat Si Iyam, or similar.
