The Artistics Works inside Phra Maha Monthien and Their Relation with the Ancient Traditional Concept of Cosmology and the Royal Monarch

Abstract

This article aims to study the significance of Phra Maha Monthien Buildings that were built according to the ancient traditional concept of cosmology and the royal monarch. This relation is portrayed through various features, namely the name and the height of each building, the mural themes chosen for each room, the throne, and the installation of deities onto various positions. All of the aforementioned represent the concepts that support the sacredness of the royal monarch to be more prominent, consolidating the ceremonies held inside the buildings for the kings, including the coronation ceremony.
