A group of monks carrying the relics traveled to the Wat Phra That Phanom and stayed overnight near the stump of a dead tamarind tree on which the relics were placed. The next day the monks continued their travels. When they arrived at the Wat Phra That Phanom however, they found that the chedi had already been completed and the monks returned home. When they arrived at the spot where they had stayed overnight earlier, they found that the dead tamarind tree miraculously was blooming again, growing branches and leaves. Seeing this, they decided to build a chedi over the stump and enshrine the relics in the newly build chedi.
