Thailand: Window and decoration on main viharn at Wat Phra Nang Sang, Phuket

Wat Phra Nang Sang was founded in the 19th century by a local lady of good family, hence the name, phra nang sang, meaning ‘built by the revered lady’. Her real name seems to have been forgotten. According to local lore, she travelled to Sri Lanka on a pilgrimage and, to give thanks on her safe return, she sponsored the building of this temple. Later she fell foul of a local ruler who ordered her head cut off, only to find her blood flowed white with purity.
