Wat Arun Rajwararam
("Temple of the Dawn") is a Buddhist temple
(wat) in the Bangkok Yai district of Bangkok, Thailand,
on the Thonburi west bank of the Chao Phraya River.
The full name of the temple is Wat Arun Ratchawararam
Ratchawaramahawihan. Named after Aruna, the Indian God
of Dawn, the Wat Arun is considered one of the most well
known of Thailand's many landmarks.
The temple is so named because the first light of the
morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly
iridescence. The monastery has existed for many years
since the days when Ayutthaya was capital of Thailand. |
