An unusual feature of the Wat Makut is its two sets of sema stones. The ubosot or ordination hall of a Buddhist temple is surrounded by eight sema stones, boundary stones that mark the building’s sacred area. Apart from this set of boundary stones called Khantha Sema, the Wat Makut possesses a second set of sema stones called Maha Sema (Great Sema), found on the wall surrounding the temple.
