The Mogao grottoes in China, situated near the oasis town of Dunhuang on the fabled Silk Road, constitute one of the world's most significant sites of Buddhist art. In some five hundred caves carved into rock cliffs at the edge of the Gobi desert are preserved one thousand years of exquisite murals and sculpture. Mogao, founded by Buddhist monks as an isolated monastery in the late fourth century, evolved into an artistic and spiritual center whose renown extended from the Chinese capital to the far western kingdoms of the Silk Road. Among its treasures are miles of stunning wall paintings, more than two thousand statues, magnificent works on silk and paper, and thousands of ancient manuscripts, such as sutras, poems, and prayer sheets, which in 1900 were found sealed in one of the caves and then dispersed to museums throughout the world.

In 1929 AD (2482 BE), the name was changed to Wat Traimit Witthayaram and it became a royal temple in 1956 AD (2499 BE). The principal Buddha image, named Sukhothai Traimit is located within the Wiharn (Hall of Worship). The image belongs to the Sukhothai period and was presumably made during the reign of King Ramkhamhaeng the Great (1277-1317 AD, 1820-1860 BE). It was moved from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai to Wat Chotinaram (Wat Phrayakrai) during the reign of King Rama III. Then it was moved to Wat Traimit and stored in the pavilion before being moved to the present location in 1955 AD (2498 BE). During this move the image, which was covered in white plaster was dropped, cracking the plaster. The image was then discovered to be of solid gold. The entire covering was then removed and the image restored to its current state. It is thought that the plaster covering was added to hide the true nature of the image from Burmese invaders.
