The Principal Buddha of Wat Sri Rong Muang

The principal Buddha image in the viharn of Wat Sri Rong Muang is a stunning example of Burmese (Mandalay) art in the Mara Vichaya posture. Carved from teak wood and covered in gold leaf, the statue features a serene, gentle face and graceful proportions typical of Burmese craftsmanship. It is enshrined on an intricately decorated pedestal adorned with stucco and glass mosaics, set within an interior of glimmering glass-clad pillars. The image reflects the height of religious devotion among Burmese timber merchants who shaped the cultural landscape of Lampang.
