Detail InformationEdit

Wat Chet Yot is a Buddhist temple (Wat) in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. It is a centre of pilgrimage for those born in the year of the snake.Wat Chet Yot is located northwest of the city centre of Chiang Mai along the Super Highway Chiang Mai – Lampang (Highway 11), north of the intersection of Huai Kaeo road and Nimmanhemin road.King Tilokarat commissioned the construction of the temple in 1455 CE after he had sent monks to Bagan in Burma to study the design of the Mahabodhi temple there, itself a copy of the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya in northern India, the location where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment.The design of the central sanctuary, the Maha Pho wihan (also called Maha Chedi), does indeed somewhat resemble the Mahabodhi temple, clearly having Indian influences. Crowning the flat roof of the rectangular windowless building are seven spires (In Thai: chet yot) which gives the temple its name: a pyramid-like spire with a square base set back from the centre surrounded by four smaller similar spires, and, set atop the two smaller annexes of the main building, two bell-shaped chedis.
