  • Wat Mahathat

    Also known as the "Monastery of the Great Relic," Wat Na Phra Men was once the thriving center of Buddhism in the Ayutthaya Kingdom before being set ablaze by the Burmese invaders. Among its iconic features, the image of a Buddha head entwined within the roots of a tree stands out as one of the most recognizable symbols of the temple. Often referred to as "The Monastery in Front of the Funeral Pyre," Wat Na Phra Men holds the crowned Buddha as its most significant image. This regal Buddha, seated in the Subduing Mara posture, commands attention with its imposing size—6 meters in height and 4.50 meters in width across the lap. Crafted from metal and adorned with gold leaf, the crowned Buddha wears royal attire, complete with a crown, earrings, necklace, chest ornament, and arm jewelry, adding a touch of majestic splendor to the spiritual ambiance of the temple.
