Nakhon Luang Castle and the changing times

"Prasat Nakhon Luang" or Phra Maha Prasat Phra Nakhon Luang or Phra Thinang Nakhon Luang was built in 2174 during the reign of King Prasat Thong, 1 year after the construction of Wat Chaiwatthanaram. >>> It is considered very old.

In addition to being a place to stay during the royal visit to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint, there is also evidence that this place was used for the royal ceremony of shooting atana or chanting the Adanatiya Sutta, which is part of the Royal New Year ceremony held in the 4th month, and the royal ceremony of stirring the divine rice and offering the rice yakhu to the monks, which is a royal ceremony performed in the 10th month.

And now, here, the discovery of the statue of Ganesha sitting on a throne of skulls, which is an extremely old statue that has been discovered, causing people to flock to ask for blessings because it is believed that Ganesha is the god of success according to Hindu beliefs, and I myself am one of those who traveled there to ask for blessings.

⌛️ Time has changed. From the most prosperous city in Southeast Asia, today there are only ruins left as a symbol of the past. Every time I see a place like this It makes me love our country more and more because no matter how many times Ayutthaya was lost, our ancestors always managed to reclaim our land and independence.

"Don't just travel to ruins of civilization, but look at what our ancestors built and were great before."
