#Wat Chamdevi, Lamphun or Wat Ku Kut

Wat Chamadevi in ​​Lamphun Province is an important ancient temple since the Lanna Thai period. Local people call it Wat Ku Kut. Some say that Queen Chamadevi built it in 1292 CE using Khmer craftsmen. Some say that Prince Anantayot and Prince Mahantayot, the sons of Queen Chamadevi, built it to enshrine her ashes. The shape of the pagoda enshrined in the temple is a square in the style of Bodh Gaya in India. Each side has a beautiful standing Buddha image in the blessing posture on each side. … An important ancient site is the octagonal pagoda. Its architectural style is an octagonal plan with layers of decreasing octagons. It can be divided into three parts: the base consists of two octagonal bases stacked on top of each other.

Inside is a standing Buddha image. The niches are in the form of three curved circles. The ancient sacred sites in Wat Chamdevi are highly revered by the locals.
