Wat Mahathat, ââ¬Åthe temple of the Great Relicââ¬Â was a Royal monastery located close to the palace and one of the most important temples in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Located on the historical island.The large monastery features a huge central prang, a very large principal viharn and ubosot and a great number of subsidiary chedis and viharns. The upper part of its once massive central prang has collapsed. Today only the base remains.One of the templeââ¬â¢s most photographed objects is the head of a stone Buddha image entwined in the roots of a tree. |
