Wat Phra Si Mahathat, Buddhist temple in Anusawari, Thailand
The temple features a main chedi containing Buddha relics, surrounded by small spaces designated for storing ashes of individuals who served the country.
Construction of the temple began in 1941 under Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram, initially planned as the Temple of Democracy following the 1932 Siamese revolution.
The principal Buddha image, Phra Si Samphutthamuni, from the Sukhothai Period sits in the main chapel, transferred from Bowonsathan Mongkhon Palace.
The temple stands on Phahonyothin Road, accessible through the Wat Phra Sri Mahathat BTS station and multiple bus lines connecting to Bangkok city center.
The temple houses five branches of the Bodhi Tree and soil from Buddhist sacred sites, obtained during a ministerial mission to British India in 1940.
