Wihan Luang or Sala Sriphutthisan was constructed on the southern side of the Wihan Luang, adjacent to the road behind Wat Phra Mahathat, in the year B.E. 2506 (1963). The hall was built by Phra Phutthisarnthera (Phut Suwatthano), the assistant abbot at the time.
This pavilion was established to serve as a resting place for visiting monks and Buddhist devotees who come to pay homage to the Phra Borommathat Chedi.
