8. The Year of the Goat

The elephant was buried, and a 7-meter tall pagoda was erected over the grave. The relics were interred in the pagoda. The site also attracts many other visitors wanting to make merits. Homages are paid on the Full-moon day of the ninth lunar month; the day of Khuen Phrathat.

According to ancient beliefs, no amount of temple visits would be sufficient to erase or reverse fated spells of ill luck. The yearly tradition of paying homages to your corresponding temple however, is believed to help mitigate some of the perils you will face. Worshipping at these temples is believed to help alleviate both the spiritual and mental burdens of devotees, allowing them to live a more carefree, untethered life. This even extends to mere photos or mental snapshots of the temples being used as centers for prayer, reflection and guidance. This ability to set the minds of the devoted at ease, is perhaps the greatest legacy, of this most sanctified of traditions.
