Ladies and gentlemen,
The Prabang has been a chief source of spiritual protection for Lao since it was brought from Cambodia in the 14th century. According to legend it was made from pure gold In India, and then presented to the king of Sri Lanka and subsequently to the king of Cambodia. Eventually, king Fa Ngum, founder of the kingdom of Lane Xang, obtained it through his wife, who was a daughter of the king of Cambodia.
The Prabang is now housed in a temple in the right-hand corner of the palace grounds on entering the main gate. The room contains stone statues of Buddha from 12th century, among offerings and other objects associated with the Prabang.
