The Throne Hall is where the king's confidants, generals and royal officials once carried out their duties. It is still in use today as a place for religious and royal ceremonies (such as coronations and royal weddings) as well as a meeting place for guests of the King.
The cross-shaped building is crowned with three spires. The central, 59-metre spire is topped with the white, four-faced head of Brahma.
