Description

Wat Khruttharam, or the Monastery of the Garuda, is located off the city island in the northern area of Ayutthaya, in the Khlong Sra Bua Sub-district. The temple is situated on the east bank of Khlong Sra Bua in a locality called Thung Kaeo and can be accessed by the road running parallel to Khlong Hua Ro. Wat Bua stood opposite the Sra Bua canal, and Wat Ngiu was north of Wat Khrutharam, along the bank of Khlong Hua Ro. Originally the temple was called Wat Khrut.

Wat Khrut stood in the centre of a community whose primary occupation was moulding large storage jars, mainly for water, called Nang Loeng, or, loosely translated, "large ladies." After moulding, the pots were dried and fired following open bonfire techniques. The Fine Arts Department, from 2000 to 2002 CE, excavated this area concerning ceramic production.
