Phra Phuttha Dhammisharaj Lokadhatudilok
Phra Phuttha Dhammisharaj Lokadhatudilok is the principal Buddha image in the Ordination Hall of Wat Arun, embodying the exquisite style of early Rattanakosin art. Its most distinctive feature is the face, which is believed to have been intricately modeled by the hands of King Rama II himself. The base of the image serves as the final resting place for the royal ashes of King Rama II, enshrined there by King Rama III as a royal memorial. This sacred image stands as a spiritual center and a symbol of the deep connection between Wat Arun and the monarch who restored the temple to its former glory.
