Description
Wat Bandensali Si Mueang Kaen, also known as Wat Banden and formerly as Wat Ribunrueang, is located in Inthakhin Subdistrict, Mae Taeng District, Chiang Mai.Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, the temple stands prominently on top of a small hill .Under the small hill is a sacred cave the villagers pay their respect to; as a result, it is named ââ¬ÅWat Bandenââ¬Â. On the templeââ¬â¢s ground there are lots of sacred fig trees, or Sali Trees, of various sizes. Because the treesââ¬â¢ name, Sali, is considered auspicious, the temple was named after them.Since it is located in the area of an ancient town known as ââ¬ÅMueang Kaenââ¬Â, the locals officially call it ââ¬ÅWat Bandensali Si Mueang Kaenââ¬Â.In 1804, Kruba Thueang Natsilo, a former abbot, had the temple renovated. It then became more exquisite with Lanna-style architecture. The abbot intended to turn it into a beautiful place of worship with religious teachings.
