  • he octagonal Chedi at Wat Prathat Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai, Thailand.


The octagonal chedi is 16 meters tall and covers the hole where the relic was buried.  Lanna Temples originally were built round chedi (stupas) which contain valuable relics of pious kings and monks.  Like solid rocks in a sea of change, the old chedis mark the sites of former temples and are almost the only temples structures that go back to the 13th-15th centuries.
