Dusit Maha Prasad Throne Hall 3D model

The Dusit Maha Prasad Throne Hall is enclosed by boundary walls as it is part of the residential complex built by Rama I. This brick plastered Throne Hall with a Prasad spired roof with red Garuda clutching the heads and seizing the tails of two Naga serpent statues at the four corners of the seven-tiered Maha Prasad roof replaced the Phra Thinang Indrabhisek Throne Hall that was built in wood and was destroyed in the fire that was caused by a lightning strike in 1789. It has the same height and dimensions as the Phra Thinang Suriya-amarindra Throne Hall in Ayudhaya that was used for the lying-in-state of monarchs and after Rama I passed away his remains were placed in the gold funeral urn and placed on a bier for the lying-in-state in the West Wing. Subsequently this Throne Hall became a building for the lying-in-state of kings, queens, and senior members of the royal family or for holding of royal ceremonies of commemoration.
