Wat
Photharam Maha Vihan is one of the most important sanctuaries in Thailand. It is popularly known as Wat Chedi Ched Yod (The Monastery With Seven Pagodas). In 1465 a temple was built on the present site of this manastery by the command of King Tilokaraj, the 11th monach of Lanna. King Tilokaraj also had a seeding of the sacred Maha Bodhi tree (a pipal tree) planted in the compound of the temple.  The main building with seven pagodas was built in the 14th or 15th centuries A.D. It is a replica of the Maha Bodhi temple at Bodhi Gaya in Bihar, India. |
