Annual Conference Program, Volume 69. The Annual Conference Program is published annually by the Association for Asian Studies, Inc. It is printed in February and distributed to all conference attendees. On the Cover Temple mural depicting scenes of village life at Wat Baan Pang, the home temple of northern Thailand’s most famous Buddhist monk, Kruba Srivichai (1878-1939). The mural is located in Kruba Srivichai’s reliquary pavilion at Wat Baan Pang, in Lii District of Lamphun Province. Kruba Srivichai was known for his many development projects, which included the construction or restoration of over 100 northern temples. Controversial in his lifetime, he was detained under temple arrest numerous times and summoned for investigation in the capital city of Bangkok in 1920 and 1935. He remains an important symbol in the lives of northern Thais, many keeping his images and amulets on their persons or in their homes, cars and temples. The right side of the mural shows villagers making offerings to Kruba Srivichai during an annual festival. He is shown holding a palmleaf fan and seated at the head of the staircase leading from the village up the hillside (note the musicians to the left of the temple, the drum procession at the foot of the staircase, and the tiger representing Kruba Srivichai’s birthyear). The left side depicts a birth scene in a village home (lower left), a festive novice ordination (upper left), and a wandering monk (center); each of these scenes parallel important moments in Kruba Srivichai’s village life. In the background are the surrounding mountains, forests and paddyfields. Painted circa late 1990s, the anonymous artist dedicated his mural to the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, parents, teachers and deities.
