57-Chedi Chet Yod (The Seven-Spired Pagoda)

Chedi Ched Yod is situated in Chiang Mai Province. The main body of the chedi is a cave like rectangular hall with 10 meters wide and 22 meters deep. The front portal is a keystone arch facing the east. Inside the cave is a seated Buddha. Gap between the walls lead to covered passageways up to the roof of the hall. On the roof stand five chedi towers on square bases which are modeled after the great tower at Bodhi Gaya in India. The largest stupa stands in the middle while the four smaller towers stand on the corners. Two other round-shaped chedi, standing on bases decorated with stucco motifs, are made of laterite.
