Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is a Lanna-style Buddhist temple in Lampang in Lampang Province, Thailand.EtymologyThe first element, phra that, means Buddha relic . The word Luang comes from ในหลวง, one way of referring to the Thai King, and indicates that the monument was sponsored by His Majesty, usually for reconstruction or refurbishment.SignificanceThe temple is said to enshrine a relic of the Buddha. Such relics are typically bones and ashes believed to be gathered after the Buddha's cremation. The relic is installed in the main chedi of the temple.HistoryThere are several bullet holes on the railing of the temple, reputed to be fired by legendary folk hero Nan Thipchang, and ancestors of the House of Chao Chet Ton (Seven Princes) which ruled Lanna as a Siamese Vassal during the Thonburi and Early-Mid Rattanokosin eras.Image gallery
