Wat Saket

Wat Saket
Rajaworamahavihara is just below the Golden Mount. It was build during the reign of Rama
I and is still a monastery. In the main building is a large image of Buddha from
Ayutthaya. This is a very quiet temple and its architecture and design represents
total harmony. Wat Saket means "to wash the hair" which refers to the
Phra Krayasanan Ceremony held here by King Rama I. The eight boundary markers
containing the sacred boundary stones are built in the form of elephant howdah
and are considered masterpieces.
