Description: |
|
“Luang” means “large” in northern dialect, and as the name
suggests, Wat Chedi Luang temple is home to Chiang Mai’s largest
Buddhist chedi built featuring 98 meters tall and 54 meters in
diameter. The construction of the orginal chedi was completed in
1481 during the reign of King Mengrai. But the current Chedi
Luang is an restoration according to the deconstruction of the
chedi in 1545 due to an
earthquake. The ordination hall located in the front is also an
example of beautiful Lanna architecture with its serpents are
probably one of the most remembered elements.
