Covering cell of Pha Sa Thoup or Oup Mung (monastery cave) at Vat Saen Sukharam. This Oup Mung was formerly located at Vat That Noi, but later it was transferred to Vat Saen Sukaram. It was restored and its covering cell was built in 1992 by Pha Khamchan Virachitta Maha Thela, Abbot of Vat Saen Sukharam. On the countenance of the covering cell, there is a picture of the Buddha made yamakapatihara (supernatural demonstration in pairs given by the Buddha in order to convince non-Buddhists of his power) to the top of mango tree until Tavatingsa heaven. The Buddha footprint was also moulded inside the Oup Mung in 1993 by Pha Khamchan and it was celebrated on the 73rd birthday of Pha Khamchan. Chromogenic print.
