Description
Phra Merumas Golden Crematorium or Royal Crematorium is where the Royal Urn is placed on the pyre Phra Chittakathan for the cremation. Traditionally, it was built as a temporary construction in the middle of the city for cremating a deceased king or queen, or high-ranking royal, and is recorded for the first time in the Ayutthaya period. Royal Crematorium represents the mythical Mount Sumeru. The landscape reflects many royal initiatives of the late, hard-working monarch.
