Wat Chedi Luang, Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand
The central chedi measures 60 meters wide at its base and features elephant statues at its corners, representing traditional Lanna architectural elements.
King Saen Muang Ma initiated construction of the temple in 1391, with subsequent rulers expanding it to reach a height of 82 meters.
The temple complex serves as an educational center for Buddhist monks and includes an ordination hall decorated with traditional northern Thai murals.
Visitors entering the temple grounds between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM must wear clothing covering shoulders and knees as per Buddhist customs.
The temple contained the Emerald Buddha statue in the 15th century before its relocation to Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
