Murals on the interior walls of the ubosot at Wat Yai Intharam are verybeautiful. Those on the upper walls to the left and right of the principalBuddha statue depict the gathering of the Devas after the Lord Buddha’senlightenment. The lower walls portray some of the Lord Buddha’s past lives. The conquering of the Mara is shown on the wall in front of the Buddha statue. A highlight is the painting of the god Rahu eating two nagas that represent time. This dhamma puzzle says that time flies and never returns and that death destroys days and nights and all lives, warning people not to spend time recklessly. The mural behind the Buddha statue depicts Mount Sumeru (the centre of the universe) according to the religious literature, Traiphum, and a dhamma puzzle showing the giant fish Anond rolling and moving the earth, meaning lust keeps humans in agony.
