Wat Phra That Hariphunchai, Buddhist temple in Lamphun, Thailand
The central stupa of Wat Phra That Hariphunchai reaches 46 meters in height and features a square base that transitions into a rounded bell shape.
The temple originated as a royal palace in 1044 when King Arthitayarat donated the grounds for Buddhist worship, leading to the removal of its outer walls.
The temple displays traditional Lanna architectural elements, including a pair of mythical Singha guardians positioned at the eastern entrance of the complex.
Visitors can explore both the temple grounds and the nearby Hariphunchai National Museum, which exhibits Mon and Lanna cultural artifacts within walking distance.
The temple houses what claims to be the largest bronze gong in the world, created in 1860 and positioned near the main prayer hall.
