According to the
inscriptions found locally on Red Sandstone, King Muang Kæw (1495-1526) of the
Mangrai dynasty and his mother ordered a military offical called Khun Luang Ja
Kham to bring a Buddha statue to this place and they built a temple in the year
1500 CE. In ancient times the temple was called Srisuphan Aram (= Temple).
Later, the Vihara, Chetiya and Ubosot were built in that order and were
completed around ten years later. All the buildings together with the
surrounding areas and twenty families were given to take care of the Temple.
Srisuphan Temple has been
a vast source of knowledge concerning the art, culture, education and
handicrafts, including lost-wax casting and silverwork, from the past until the
present. There is still a living culture regarding these handicrafts, but
knowledge about statue-casting, silverwork and other handicrafts are in danger
these days owing to the changing times and there are not many people to whom
this knowledge is being passed on.
