Dusit Maha Prasat, a Throne and Audience Hall, which is located within the compound of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, and which principle function is to house the deceased kings and members of the royal family when Lying-in-State. The hall houses Phra Racha Banlang Pradap Muk, a throne inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl and surmounted by the Nine-tiered White Umbrella of State (fig.).
