The complex includes spaces for worship and meditation alongside outdoor areas where various sacred structures stand arranged throughout the grounds.
The temple was established as a religious center and developed over several decades as Bangkok expanded and modernized around it. It has remained a focal point for Buddhist practice and continues to serve the local community as a spiritual home.
