Buddha inside Viharn at Wat Phanan Choeng Woramahavihara is a Buddhist temple in the city of Ayutthaya on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River at the south-eastern side of the confluence of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers. Built in 1324, some 26 years before the city of Ayutthaya was officially founded, the temple has a large wihan, the highest building within the temple complex, and houses an immense 19 meter high gilded, seated Buddha from 1334 CE. Today, as part of the Ayutthaya Historical Park, the temple is a popular tourist attraction.
