Ku Ka Sing

Location:
Ban Kukasing is located in Ban Kukasing, Kasetwisai district in Roi-Et province.

History of Kukasing:
An old person in the village said, first this place was governed by Khom. The olden day governors of Khom wanted to construct the Ku (Palace). The leader of Khom asked a woman to build Kuprakhona. Then he asked a man to build Kukasing. We don’t know about the time they started building, but we know about the agreement. They be in agreement to contest, when the fixed star seen on the sky the time would be up.

So on the last day of the contest, the woman laid a plot because she wanted to be the winner. She made a lamp and she hung the lamp on a tree. The man saw the lamp and thinking of the morning, he stopped building the Ku because he thought the time was up. In the mean time, the woman hurried to build the KupraKhona and she completed the Ku. However, the man could not complete the Ku. Thus Kukasing is not complete like Kuprakhona.
The construction style of Kukasing was influenced from Hinduism and Shiva. between 1007 – 1087 it was the time of Papoun art. People in this area believe that Kukasing is a holy place and it is a dwelling of Shiva. Every May they have Boon Bung fire festival, where they pray for rain.

As for the interesting annual events, there is a sound and light performance every December. This show is called Kin Kao Tung Nung Pha Mai, it means eating local food and wearing

Thai silk. If you are planning to travel to Thailand in December,

do not miss this show.

Why it is called Kukasing:

There is no evidence from Khom to confirm the origin of this name.

The name Kukasing comes from Thai-Isan language. Ku is a place like

a chedi. Ka is from Garuda. The Garuda is a large mythical bird or

bird-like creature that appears in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Sing is from the lion statue in front of Kukasing.
