Wat Phutthai Sawan or the "Monastery of Lord Buddha of the Heavens" was constructed by King U-Thong just south of the Chao Phraya River. As the first King of Ayutthaya, it is an important temple, and has frequently been restored over the centuries. The prang, representing the cosmic Mount Meru, is located in the middle of the ancient .compound and is built on an indented pedestal protruding towards the north and south, resulting in a wing like formation, characteristic for prangs of the early Ayutthaya period.
