Wat Mahathat
Sukhothai

Situated in the heart of the town, this significant temple is believed to be the place where Lord Buddha's Relics has been enshrined. Its main chedi in lotus bud shape characterizes the typical style of Sukhothai art. Presumably, the main stupa was originally constructed in prasat shape like the style of those surrrounding on its four sides. Located between the north and south of the principle chedi, a standing Buddha image of 9 meters in height is believed to be Phra Attharot as mentioned in Stone Inscription I.
