A 1955 Ubon temple
Ubon municipal records date the temple to 1955 and identify the Sri Maha Pho chedi as its key architectural feature. The chedi is modelled on the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya in India and is associated with relic worship.
Wat Phra That Nong Bua
Wat Phra That Nong Bua is a city temple in Ubon Ratchathani centred on the Sri Maha Pho chedi. Its modern design looks to Bodh Gaya rather than to the region's older Khmer ruins.
A living city religious site
The provincial Buddhist office continues to record ceremonies and religious activity at the temple. Read the chedi as a twentieth-century interpretation of Buddhist pilgrimage, and check local notices before relying on festival dates or visitor arrangements.
