Watt Photichetiyaram : The Temple with Bodhi tree and Chetiya

Watt Photichetiyaram, a temple that located in Kedah, northern province of Malaysia. Actually it's my hometown. A temple that teaches Buddhism and well known among the Buddhism community in Kedah and Perlis. 

What unique with the name Photichetiyaram? Its combination of three Pali word, Photi (Bodhi Tree), Chetiya (Stupa) and Ram (Temple). So, it's mean's a temple that got Bhodi Tree and a Stupa. That's it and I proud of it.

This was the main Bhodi tree that grew in the temple. Originality or who planted it, I don't know but I'm sure it's old. The Stupa located beside the tree.

The Stupa in the temple had a unique story. It's built as a monument of the temporary placement of body of Luang Phu Tuad (A legendary monk from Thailand) while transfer back to Thailand.
