Wat Ratchaburana, Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand
The temple features a central prang with intricate stucco decorations, four Sri Lankan stupas, and a series of wall paintings in the crypt.
King Borommarachathirat II established the temple in 1424 at the cremation site of his two brothers who died fighting for succession.
The temple crypt contains paintings that display a fusion of Khmer, Sukhothai, and early Ayutthaya period artistic styles.
Visitors can access the temple's crypt through steep stairs and view recovered artifacts at the nearby Chao Sam Phraya Museum.
Thieves looted numerous Buddha images and gold artifacts from the temple's crypt in 1957, leading to the creation of specialized security measures.
