Amulets that are defined by their age, history & significance...


Where it all began...


Wat Mahawan (unknown age)

Legends hold that Wat Mahawan was founded in the year 

657 by Queen Chamathewi, who brought a Buddha image 

from Lawo (Lopburi) to be enshinred here. The local 

population dubbed the image Phra Rod Luang or Phra Rod 

Lamphun, and used it as a model for creating votive tablets 

called 'Phra Rod Mahawan'. The temple is likely much newer 

than the legends claim, and its chief building of interest is 

the ho trai, which was constructed in the 1940s.
