Photo: Mondop of Wat Chetuphon in Sukhothai
A Mondop
enshrines four Buddha images in different postures: sitting,
standing, walking and reclining. The outer wall of the Mondop
still retains a section in the form of slate pillar-balustraded
windows. There is an entrance to the Mondop in the north. Just
behind the Mondop is a small sanctuary which contains a Buddha
image known locally as Phra Si Ariya (Matireya), Lord Buddha of
the Future.
