Dome of the Stupa

Wat Maheyong
Ayutthaya

This is the main chedi of Wat Maheyong (see previous page). The body of this stupa is fashioned in Sri Lankan style: a bell-shaped dome, a square harmika (railing) atop the dome, and a chattra (honorific umbrella) above the harmika.

The yellow honorific cloth indicates that this chedi is actively venerated.
