The three offerings.

……..Among all the Buddhist countries in the world, only three have built palaces adorned with metal roofs or Loha Prasada

Migaramatu Pasada > The first Loha Prasada was built in sravasti , India during Buddha’s lifetime by Visakha , his greatest female  disciple. This generous  donation  to the sangha

(monks and practitioners of dhamma ) was purported to have 500 on each of its two stories with its a roof topped in gold.

Lovamahapaya >   Complete  around  150  BC ,by  King  Dutthagamani  ,the second  brazen palace was erected in Anuradhapura ,Sri Lanka. Rumored  to have a nice stories ,it was established as a  residence for up to 1,000 monks and  a roof covered in copper tiles.

Wat Ratchanaddaram > King Rama III commissioned the building of this third Loha Prasada in 1846 .Part of this intent was to build  a magnificent palace  to house relics of the Buddha

And offer the city  a befitting give in lieu of a less grand chedi.

The temple is seven stories   high  and topped with 37 metal spires that signify the 37  necessary virtues in order to reach enlightenment .The first to  Loha  Prasada are in ruins, so a visit here grants a look at  one of the world’s most wonderful and unqiue sites .

The top perspective.

…….From adopt this  peak  .this views of Krung Thep are second to none ; comparable to city views from Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Tokyo Tower .During temple fair time the pagoda is open late enough for you to catch the city bathed in the golden   color  of evening’s last night.

Phra  Borom  Banpot , or The golden mount, was conceived of during a major renovation of Wat saket .At this time King Rama lll ordered a new pagoda to be built near Mahanak Canal .After some difficulties with  the  original   chedi (twelve -recesses  style  of traditional Ayutthaya) construction  was delayed.

Later, King Rama lV  modified the plans to a more  unique and grander version; this one coated with gold .Overseeing the completion of the chedi was King Rama V, who enshrined some of Buddha’ s relics on the top.

Walking up the hill to  pay  respects  to the relics is  considered a boon of merit for Thais .To the non- believing tourist ,the benefits still outweigh the  hike’s struggle with an opportunity  to lose your breath – by experiencing 360 degrees of the city ‘s panorama . Look where the old town and new city merge….in front you’ll see the temples. Palaces and old communities and further east , the modern megacity, Brilliant.
