The Amarindra Vinijaya Mahaisuraya Biman

Throne Hall

This throne hall is to the north of the Baisal Daksin Hall. It is considered as the important Hall to be used by Kings
in the Chakri Dynasty for various important national activities. These activities include the granting of an audience to high
officials, governmental and royal household, general audience during the Royal Coronation Ceremony, the ceremony on
anniversary of the Royal Birthday and for an audience with diplomatic corps. The Hall has been in use since the early
period of Rattanakosin.

The hall is a spacious structure with an elevated floor. There are two porticos on each side to the east and the
west. It is surrounded with closed walls. At the far end of the hall, the Busabok Mala Maha Chakrapat Biman Throne
is enshrined. It is located next to an amphitheater-staircase leading up from Devaraj Mahesvara Gate, the connecting
pathway from which the King enters this Throne Hall, and especially from the Baisal Daksin Hall. To the front of the
Busabok Mala Maha Chakrapat Biman Throne, the Budtan Kanchana Singhasana Throne is enshrined, sitting under
the Royal Nine-Tiered Umbrella of State.
