Wat Thanya Phon (วัดธัญญะผล), the ‘Temple of Abundant Yield’ or ‘Temple of the Fruitful Harvest’, is a community temple of the Mahanikaya (महानिकाय) sect located in Lam Luk Ka (ลำลูกกา) District, in Pathum Thani (ปทุมธานี) Province. The temple was founded in 1867 and was originally named Wat Phuttha Nimit Yaram (วัดพุทธนิมิตยาราม). The temple received its wisung khama sima (วิสุงคามสีมา) royal ordination boundary, defining the sacred area for monastic ceremonies, on 10 May 1906. During the tenure of the ninth abbot the temple underwent restoration, and in 1987 construction began on a new ubosot (อุโบสถ) because the original ordination hall had fallen into severe disrepair. However, the abbot passed away before its completion. The new ubosot later received wisung khama sima on 25 December 1996 and it was finally completed in 1999, after which the old ubosot was no longer used. Other structures within the temple grounds include monks’ residences known as kuti (กุฏิ, กุฎี), a prayer hall built in 1962, and a sermon hall or sala kaan parian built in 1959. The temple’s most revered sacred object is a Buddha statue called Luang Pho Yim (หลวงพ่อยิ้ม), depicted in the maravijaya (मारविजया, มารวิชัย) posture. According to local tradition, the statue floated downstream and appeared around 1867 at the mouth of Khlong Paet (คลองแปด), the canal adjacent to the temple, near the house of a local merchant, with only the top of the head visible above the water. It was retrieved by a villager and first enshrined in front of the old ubosot, later moved to a hermit shrine pavilion and then to the front of the temple, and today it is placed in the sala kaan parian of Wat Thanya Phon, which also features a replica of Phra Phuttha Chinnarat (พระพุทธชินราช). Wihaan Phra Rattana (วิหารพระรัตนะ), meaning the ‘Hall of the Precious Jewel’, features a crowned Buddha and large-scale replicas of the twelve pagodas associated with the twelve animals of the zodiac. In addition, there is a hall with wax effigies of famous monks from the past, as well as a hall that in the front features a statue of the yak (ยักษ์) Thao Wetsuwan (ท้าวเวสสุวรรณ) and which houses various revered figures, including the demon of darkness Rahu (ราหู), the Burmese nat-like deity Thep Than Jai (เทพทันใจ), the Chinese goddess of mercy Kuan Yin (觀音), the Hindu elephant-headed deity Ganesha (श्रीगणेश), the Buddha’s personal physician Jivaka Komarabhacca (ชีวก โกมารภัจจ์), and the obese Chinese monk Mi Le Fo (弥勒佛). Outside, in the back, is a water basin featuring the mother of the earth Phra Mae Thoranih (พระแม่ธรณี), whilst at the temple’s gate in the front stands a statue of the traveling monk Phra Siwalih (พระสีวลี). 回
