			Reua Asurapaksi is a large escort barge, with the figurehead of 
						the demon
						 
						
		Asurapaksi 
	(fig.), 
						which has a greyish-green complexion.  
						It is
						
						used to accompany the true 
						 
						
            Royal Barges
						during the  
						
						Royal Barge Procession. 
						It  has a crew of 30 
						rowers and 2 helmsmen, besides a trumpeter, an officer, 
						etc. 
						The 
						
						oarsmen 
						
						wear white trousers, a dark-blue to 
						purplish shirt trimmed with gold, and a black 
						
						
						Malabiang-helmet, 
						whilst the oars are silver with a red handle. It sails on the 
						starboard side of the 
						procession, to the opposite side of 
						
			
						
						Reua 
	Asuravayuphak 
						(fig.). 
						
						
						
						From afar, both the 
						Reua Asurapaksi 
						and Reua Asuravayuphak
						escort barges 
						
						
						are confusingly 
						similar to the 
						Garuda escort barges 
						
						
						Reua Krut Heun Het (fig.) 
						and 
						
						Reua Krut Tret Traichak 
						(fig.), 
						
						and can 
						from a distance best be distinguished by the fact that 
						the bird-like 
						figureheads
						(fig.) 
						of the former two barges 
						have their arms in a downward pose (fig.), 
						whereas the arms of the figureheads on the prows of the 
						Garuda escort barges have their arms held up (fig.).
