Description
The chedi, also called stupa or sometimes pagoda is the most important and sacred structure of the wat. Originally, a chedi contained relics of the Buddha, later on they were also used to enshrine the remains of Kings or a very important monk. Chedis are found in various shapes and variations, though typically they have a conical shape. The most used chedi style in Thailand is the bell shaped form. The shape of the chedi is likely derived from an ancient burial mound.
