Timeless Southern Symbol Reborn in Ancient City

#hellohalloween #october2025 The Phra Maha That at Ancient City stands as a sacred representation of one of southern Thailand’s most revered monasteries. This magnificent reconstruction draws inspiration from ancient Javanese architecture, particularly the Chandi Pawana Chedi in Indonesia. The main tower rises gracefully at the center — a round chedi housing a relic chamber and image hall above. Intricate Kirti Mukha mask motifs adorn the chamber’s upper façade, echoing those found in Java’s ancient temples. Every detail captures the profound connection between Thai and Indonesian Buddhist art, reflecting centuries of spiritual exchange and devotion. It’s not just an architectural replica, but a monument that bridges cultures, faith, and history through sacred design.
