The front of the Great Vihara stands out with its massive doorways featuring pointed arches (Gothic influence) from the West. You can still see traces of exquisite stucco work by royal craftsmen from the late Ayutthaya period on the gables and door frames. Right in front are the ruins of the "Royal Dressing Hall," where monarchs would rest and change their attire before ceremonies. From this spot, visitors can see the Vihara stretching towards the majestic main prang towering in the background. It's a prime photography spot that captures the grandeur of what was once the most important royal temple in Siam’s second capital.
