Description

The words "Hua Khuang" mean "large open space". The temple is named as such because it is situated on a large open space in the historical area of Nan near Ho Kham, the ancient royal palace of the Nan rulers. Its construction date is not known. Records tell of its restoration in 1911, ordered by a former Prince of Nan. Interesting features include the palace-shaped chedi with a square base matching the double-tiered topmost orbs; the bronze Buddha image in Subduing Mara posture; the scripture hall or Ho Trai shaped square with four gabled ends; and a pulpit with a gourd-shaped top elaborately decorated with black lacquer and covered in gold leaves and coloured glasses.
