WAT RAJAPRADITSATHITMAHASIMARAM RAJAVARAVIHARA

The first classed Royal Monastery of Ratchaworawiharn was built from King Rama IV's belief that traditional Royal ceremonies in the city required three temples namely Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana and Wat Rajapradit. As Bangkok had niether Wat Rajapradit nor a Thammayutikanikai temple close to the Grand Palace, while Wat Bowonniwetwiharn was not convenient for the King and Royal Families to travel to and fro, He then ordered to build The temple in the reign of King Rama V, The Ashes of King Rama IV were kept underneath the principal Buddha Image in UBOSOT(The ordination Hall). The mural paintings in UBOSOT depict 12 royal ceremonies and a solar eclipse which is a memorial to King Rama IV's trip to observe a solar eclipse at Tambon Wako of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province in 1868.
