Wat Arun (วัดอรุณ,"Temple of Dawn") is a Buddhist temple in the Bangkok Yai district. It is situated on Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. The temple derives its name from the Hindu god Aruṇa, often personified as the radiations of the rising sun. The temple was founded in 1646, and his main prang was constructed in 1851. In 2017 was made the latest major restoration. The central prang symbolises Mount Meru of the Hindu cosmology.
