Wat Dusidaram Arun Amarin, Bangkok Noi, Bangkok. In the past, about 60 years ago, when the storyteller was still young, he saw a stone pillar. The size is about the size of a 4-khan or 5-khand pillar, 2 cubits and a half tall, and is placed in a corner inside the balcony surrounding the temple. Near the pagoda located in the north behind the chapel that is still visible today.

 

At that time, the place was still overgrown with grass and was revered by the people at that time (some of those who came to see it saw But some people didn't see it.) Later, the teller came to look again but didn't see it. And it is not known how or when the stone pillar disappeared. Therefore, in this matter it can be concluded that the naming of this temple "Sao Prakhon" may be taken as a sign of the stone pillar. Both match the meaning of the word "Prakon" which is also used as the name of the large pillar that marks the boundary. If you consider it, it's reasonable enough. But it cannot be guaranteed that it will definitely end.

 

Incidentally, the word "Prakon" which is the name of this monastery By Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Risara Nuwattiwong His Majesty defined it as follows: "Khon" can be translated as "pillar" or "main". For example, the words "sao prakon" or "dash" which are words that give the meaning of a beautiful image, such as "plat", "plat", "chup", "prachuap". A meeting is a meeting,” which is the evidence that will be shown. In what year was this temple built? Who created it? And what kind of Thawornwat or Buddhist objects were created in the first period? They do not appear, so it is not possible to know.

 

The sacred object that is real estate is the Buddha image in the posture of Mara. It is enshrined in the temple. The lap width is 2.12 meters and the radius is 2.00 meters high. The Apostle is 97 cents tall and sits folded on a 1-foot base.
