Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat (Temple of the Great Jewelled Reliquary), colloquially referred to as Wat Phra Si or Wat Yai, is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Phitsanulok Province, Thailand. It is located on the east bank of the Nan River, near Naresuan Bridge. The temple is famous for its gilded statue of the Buddha, shown in this photograph. The statue is considered to be one of the most beautiful and classically magnificent figures of the Buddha in Thailand, and worthy of the highest respect among the Thai people.

Hello, Why is this temple called a "reliquary"? What exactly are the relics? I don't see any mentions of objects directly associated with the Buddha, such as bones or clothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leghorn (talk • contribs) 02:32, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
