Wat Mahannapharam

[3] The name of the temple means "the great abode of water", referring to the Sea of Samsara, the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

A statue of Rama V was later erected at the wat to mark the centenary of the founding of the school.

[6]: 3 The main Buddha image in the ubosot is Luang Por Bunyarit (หลวงพ่อบุญฤทธิ์), sculpted during the reign of Rama III in Ayutthaya style.

The Buddha image in the wihan is Pra Ruang Thong Kam [th] (พระร่วงทองคำ), cast in Sukhothai style.

[1] Pra Ruang is much older, dated back to Sukhothai period and made from 60 per cent gold.
