Wat Phra That Hariphunchai is an important religious site in northern Thailand, a sacred landmark that has been associated with the city of Lamphun for over a thousand years. Located in the heart of Lamphun, it is just about 150 meters from the provincial hall and is surrounded by roads on all four sides: Atharas Road to the north, Chaimongkol Road to the south, and the city wall road to the east. Additionally, it is considered the birthplace of the auspicious year for those born in the year of the rooster. The Phra Boromathat Hariphunchai houses sacred relics, including a lock of hair from the Buddha, which is enshrined in a golden casket located within the stupa. The stupa features a lotus base styled with a bulbous lotus petal, transitioning into three circular tiers that support the bell-shaped structure. The structure stands at a height of 25 "wa" (a traditional Thai measurement unit) and has a width of 12 "wa" and 1 "khu" (1 "khu" = 1 inch). It is adorned with a "satti-banchan" (iron and brass railing) consisting of two layers, with golden vessels placed at the outer railing on both the north and south sides. The stupa is embellished with guardian angel niches and umbrellas at each of the four corners, along with a tower on each side, totaling four towers, each housing a seated Buddha statue. Additionally, there are lanterns and altars installed for the general public to pay their respects, making it a significant center for Buddhist worship.
