The temple was used for cremation ceremonies. During the reign of King Rama III, the artificial hill or Golden Mount was constructed; a chedi was added to the top which caused the hill to collapse. Under King Rama IV a more permanent hill of clay and bricks was constructed followed by the chedi which still exists today.
