Wat Pathum Wanaram, Buddhist temple in Pathum Wan district, Bangkok, Thailand.
The main hall of Wat Pathum Wanaram contains traditional Buddhist art, murals, and architectural elements characteristic of 19th-century Thai religious structures.
King Rama IV established this temple in 1857 as a center for Buddhist worship and learning near the royal lotus farms and gardens.
The temple functions as a religious center where monks conduct daily rituals, ceremonies, and provide Buddhist teachings to local community members.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with visitors required to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering sacred areas.
The temple stands between modern shopping centers Siam Paragon and Central World, creating a juxtaposition between traditional Thai architecture and contemporary urban development.
