Legend says that the Venerable Mahakasapa, with 500 Arhats and rulers of other cities, joined hands in building the stupa and placed the chest bone relic of the Lord Buddha inside. Mirroring the Khmer architectural influence, the stupa has undergone many restorations. <\/p>\n

In 1942, the temple was honoured as a first-class royal temple.The stupa is the real icon that nourishes the hearts of Nakhon Phanom\u2019s people, as well as people from other provinces and Laotian Buddhists. It is believed that those who have visited the stupa 7 times will be considered the children of the stupa; and prosperity can be expected. Even once in a lifetime is considered auspicious.

On 11 August, 1975, at 7.38 p.m., after days of heavy rainstorm, the ancient stupa collapsed. The Royal Thai Government and people nationwide contributed to rebuild it in the former shape. The stupa was completed on 23 March, 1979. Besides the Lord Buddha\u2019s relic, the reconstructed stupa houses thousands of pieces of precious items. Its crown is a golden umbrella weighing 110 kg. <\/p>\n
