The prang of Wat Racha Burana was still in fairly good condition and could be restored.
The prang, representing the cosmic Mount Meru, is located in the middle of the ancient
compound and is built on an indented pedestal protruding towards the north and south,
resulting in a wing-like formation, which was characteristic for prangs of the early
Ayutthaya period. The “cella” or central small hall inside the prang containing the crypt,
can be accessed through a porch directed towards the east, by climbing the steep stairs
leading to the entry of the porch. The prang has three staircases on the east, north and
south side. Over the cubic “cella” rises the central tower, the bud-shaped prang. The
“cella” housed a Buddha image. On the lowest level of the top-part of the prang are
decorated Garuda and Naga sculptures still visible.
