PROVINCIAL ESCUTCHEON

 
 

 

 

 

Khon Kaen

The escutcheon of Khon Kaen shows the dead stump of a tamarind tree, that miraculously came to life after a travelling group of monks carrying a relic of the Buddha spent the night there. This was seen as a nimit (good omen) by the local population, who built a chedi at this very spot.
