Pay homage and ask for blessings from the ancient Ganesha statue, more than 300 years old, in the posture of defeating Mara.
Prasat Nakhon Luang is an ancient site located in Nakhon Luang District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. It was built during the reign of King Prasat Thong. It was originally a residence for kings when they came to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint. It has now become a popular historical tourist attraction on social media.
One of the highlights of Prasat Nakhon Luang is praying to the ancient Ganesha, who is more than 300 years old and sits on a throne of skulls. He is believed to help with work, finances, studies, and eliminating obstacles. The way to pray is as follows:
Bring 2 banknotes to pray, rub Ganesha's feet to increase financial luck.
Ring the bell, and after praying, take 1 banknote back for good fortune.
If you can whisper to a mouse to pray, that would be great.
(You are not allowed to bring incense and candles upstairs. We recommend praying from below, and the way up can be steep.)
Traveling from Bangkok to Prasat Nakhon Luang is not far, taking only 1-1.5 hours. You can travel by private car, using Phahonyothin Road or Asia Road, then take Highway No. 309. If traveling by train, you can get off at Ayutthaya Station and take a car to Nakhon Luang District.
For those who are looking for a place to visit near Bangkok that has both history and sacredness, don't miss visiting Ganesha at Prasat Nakhon Luang. #Get a discount without relying on luck

Royal Ruins of the past!
This residence was historically used by various Kings of Ayuttahaya as a temporary camp. The temple’s architectural design is an imitation of a kingdom in Cambodia.
Today the structure remains but, on the passages surrounding the main square, there is only one statue remaining.
📸Taking a photo from below, it is a remarkable contour that fills the lens!
💡Tips: It is best to visit the temple on a day with less clouds for the best photos!
👼The temple still has active services for the religious and its best to be conscious of the people in prayer wen taking photos.
📸The entire temple is an amazing backdrop for portraits!

Pray to the ancient Ganesha at Wat Nakhon Luang, Ayutthaya.
✨Go once! Pray to all!
This time we visited Ayutthaya and had the opportunity to stop by Wat Nakhon Luang
which has an ancient site, Prasat Nakhon Luang
with the ancient Ganesha, the posture of defeating the Mara, which is more than 300 years old
🕉 When praying to this posture of Ganesha
the father will sit on a skull base
which will help eliminate obstacles, problems and bad things
Then we pray to him for luck and success
And here there is also the floating moon stone, a stone that miraculously floated along the banks of the Pa Sak River
Luang Pho Somwang and four Buddha footprints
📌Somwang technique: Start by praying to Ganesha first and pray to the Buddha in the castle, then come down to pray to the floating moon stone
In the castle, there will be a monk to bless and anoint your palms
and foreheads as well, so you will be lucky and successful
🤎 Park your car at the 2nd parking lot, which is the closest to the castle
🤎 It is recommended to come on weekdays, there will be fewer people
🤎 The way up to the castle is quite steep, so the elderly should be careful

Ganesha sits on a throne of skulls, over 300 years old, enshrined in front of the pavilion of 4 Buddha footprints, is a Javanese art style. It is believed that worshiping Ganesha is auspicious in terms of money, work, love, eliminating obstacles and enemies, and defeat. The trick of the Mu line is to use a banknote to brush the surface of Ganesha and then open the wallet as if scooping money and gold into the pocket. This statue is sitting on a throne of skulls, which is not often seen. Enshrined in the castle of the royal family, the rituals of that era were certainly not ordinary. Devotees of Ganesha all seek a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to come and worship. #Ayutthaya

Because people often think of the Ayutthaya 9 pilgrimage trip according to their familiarity. But I'll tell you, if you come to Prasat Nakhon Luang, we will think, "Why have I never been here?" Or why did we never know that here there is a sacred object that has been famous among the spiritual line for a long time that once in a lifetime, you should come to ask for a blessing. Plus, the journey is not far from Ayutthaya Historical Park, only 20 kilometers away. It is a stone castle built in the era of King Prasat Thong, which is large and magnificent.

Nakhon Luang Castle and the changing times
"Prasat Nakhon Luang" or Phra Maha Prasat Phra Nakhon Luang or Phra Thinang Nakhon Luang was built in 2174 during the reign of King Prasat Thong, 1 year after the construction of Wat Chaiwatthanaram. >>> It is considered very old.
In addition to being a place to stay during the royal visit to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint, there is also evidence that this place was used for the royal ceremony of shooting atana or chanting the Adanatiya Sutta, which is part of the Royal New Year ceremony held in the 4th month, and the royal ceremony of stirring the divine rice and offering the rice yakhu to the monks, which is a royal ceremony performed in the 10th month.
And now, here, the discovery of the statue of Ganesha sitting on a throne of skulls, which is an extremely old statue that has been discovered, causing people to flock to ask for blessings because it is believed that Ganesha is the god of success according to Hindu beliefs, and I myself am one of those who traveled there to ask for blessings.
⌛️ Time has changed. From the most prosperous city in Southeast Asia, today there are only ruins left as a symbol of the past. Every time I see a place like this It makes me love our country more and more because no matter how many times Ayutthaya was lost, our ancestors always managed to reclaim our land and independence.
"Don't just travel to ruins of civilization, but look at what our ancestors built and were great before."
