Thailand: Prince Siddhartha in Burmese-style clothing, northern wall mural, Wat Buak Khrok Luang, Chiang Mai

Wat Buak Khrok Luang, located in Ban Buak Khrok Luang Moo 1, Chiang Mai – Sankamphaeng Road, Chiang Mai, is a small and typically northern Thai Buddhist temple. It is believed to have been founded in the 15th century during the time of the independent Lan Na Kingdom (1292-1558), and was extensively restored during the reign of Chao Kaew Naowarat (r.1911-1939), the last King of Chiang Mai. The temple is chiefly noteworthy for its main viharn, which is purely Lan Na in inspiration, with a four-tiered roof and elegant naga balustrade entrance. The most remarkable aspect of the viharn is its extensive mural paintings, dating from around 1835 during the reign of Chao Phuttawong (r.1826-1846), the fourth ruler of the Chiang Mai Thipchang Dynasty. The murals, which are northern Thai in style with clear elements of Shan State and Konbaung Dynasty Burmese influence, are among the best in northern Thailand. They feature the jataka stories, past lives of the Buddha, and are interspersed with vernacular scenes from everyday early 19th century northern Thai life.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Wat Buak Khrok Luang, ubicado en Ban Buak Khrok Luang Moo 1, Chiang Mai – Sankamphaeng Road, Chiang Mai, es un templo budista pequeño y típicamente del norte de Tailandia. Se cree que fue fundado en el siglo XV durante la época del reino independiente de Lan Na (1292-1558), y fue ampliamente restaurado durante el reinado de Chao Kaew Naowarat (r.1911-1939), el último rey de Chiang. Mai. El templo destaca principalmente por su viharn principal, de inspiración puramente Lan Na, con un techo de cuatro niveles y una elegante entrada con balaustrada naga. El aspecto más notable del viharn son sus extensas pinturas murales, que datan aproximadamente de 1835 durante el reinado de Chao Phuttawong (r.1826-1846), el cuarto gobernante de la dinastía Chiang Mai Thipchang. Los murales, que son de estilo del norte de Tailandia con elementos claros del estado de Shan y la influencia birmana de la dinastía Konbaung, se encuentran entre los mejores del norte de Tailandia. Presentan las historias de jataka, las vidas pasadas de Buda y se intercalan con escenas vernáculas de la vida cotidiana del norte de Tailandia a principios del siglo XIX.
