Wat Khao Aor (วัดเขาอ้อ), Phatthalung Province of Thailand

Wat Khao Aor (วัดเขาอ้อ) in Amphoe KhuanKhanun. Before becoming a Temple, it was considered to be a centre of learning, called the ThisaPamok School that was similar toTakkasila in India, presumably founded before 857 by Brahmins from India during the age of “Dravidian Yatra”, which is the time that the Brahmins expanded the religious belief from India.
This place was famous for supernaturalpowers and ancient medicine, especially, related toWan, an herbal plant; later there wasa Wandipping ritual and manyother forms of black magic until it became well-known nationwide as a place that had inherited the magic and spells for invulnerability until today. At present, the“Follow the path of the Lord Buddha, Follow a trace of the ritual of Khao O House” Festival takes placeannually.
