The Baisal Daksin Throne Hall
The hall is located between the front audience hall of Chakrapat Biman Royal Residence and the Amarindra
Vinijaya Throne Hall. The building has the structure of a long, open elevated room, facing east and west.
On the wall of the eastern side of the hall, a gateway leads to Sulalai Biman Chapel. In the hall’s eastern side,
the Atha Disa Udumbara Raja Asana Throne is enshrined under the seven tiered Umbrella. On the opposite side,
at the western wall of the hall, there is the gate leading to Phra Dhat Monthira Reliquary Hall. In the hall’s western
side, the Bhadrapitha Throne is enshrined under the Nine-tiered Umbrella.
On the northern side of the hall is a solid wall with 11 door panels. The center part of this northern wall has
the chamber where Phra Siam Deva Dhiraj is enshrined. Behind the chamber is the Devaraj Mahesvara Gate, which
is the private pathway of the King when entering to grant an audience at Amarindra Vinijaya Throne Hall. On the
opposite side in the south, the center part is constructed in the form of an amphitheater-staircase leading to the
platform of the front Throne Hall of Chakrapat Biman Royal Residence.
