Wat Inpeng Pagoda
Wat Inpeng Pagoda is a historical landmark
of arts and culture, located on the north of Wat Ongtue Temple. There are many
historical elements of interest to those studying Lao art and culture including
the rock sculptures, Buddha image and rock columns depicting Mon and Khmer
cultures
Despite many of the original items in this temple having since been removed. The
pagoda still corresponds to the King of Gods. It was once said that during
construction, He transformed himself into an old wise man to assist with
construction. Legend also holds that He further transformed himself into an old
white monk to help construct the Buddha image. From then on, the temple became
known as Wat Inpeng, which means “to transform” .
