Wat Buppharam Thai Buddhist Temple is located at number 8, Perak Road, right in between Georgetown and Pulau Tikus area. This relatively small temple complex was built in 1942 by a Thai Buddhist monk Phothan Srikheaw, the first Chief Abbot of this temple. The founding father of the temple is honored by a gold leaf covered image, together with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Chief Abbot of this temple, located at the front portion, near to the main building of this temple. The temple grounds are decorated with various mythical creatures, the traditional Thai dragons, and deities that popular Thai religion shared common cultures, a mixture of Hinduism and Taoism. The statue of Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu deity is standing at the main entrance. On the left, there is a beautiful shrine consecrated to the goddess Kuan Yin, a Mahayana Bodhisattva, and on the far side leading to the burial grounds, there is a small shrine to the Land God, a Taoist deity. In spite of its modest size, Wat Buppharam has one of the largest temple arches in Penang. Wat Buppharam is also famously known as the "TEMPLE OF THE LIFTING BUDDHA". There are some really nice antique Straight Chinese altar tables in the main shrines, and many golden painted statues. This temple is open to the public and admission is free. The present Chief Abbot of this temple is Phra Khantikpalo (Than Yong). He is the fifth Chief Abbot of this temple after the passing away of Phra Khru Bidhikacheay Akhathammo. |
