History of production-
ArtThis stupa was hugely influenced by the ornamented stupa of Rattanakosin especially the bell-shaped element that is redented into 12 corners and the set of round lotus.However, this stupa was the creation of a new style by turning the ornamented stupa of Rattanakosin into the Prasat style that has the chamber and base that are different from stupas in Rattanakosin.
