bronze Buddha, brought from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, was installed inside the Wihan. The image was called Phra Toh or Phra Yai which means Big Buddha Image.

The Wihan (main hall) was completed in the reign of King Rama III. Then the Ubosot (Ordination Hall) was built along with a principal Buddha image for that hall. The temple was then named Wat Suthat Thepwararam. Later King Rama IV named the principal image inside the Wihan Phra Phuttha Srisakkayamuni and the principal image inside the Ubosot Phra Phuttha Trilokachet.
