Fine Arts Department Announces Progress on Royal Crematorium Preparations
The Fine Arts Department has confirmed that the installation of the Royal Crematorium's umbrella (Chat) is scheduled for November, with decorative sculptures now 80% complete.
According to a report from Matichon Online, the Fine Arts Department has provided an update on the construction and decoration of the Royal Crematorium. Officials stated that the installation of the 'Chat' (the tiered umbrella structure) is set to take place this November.
Work on the decorative sculptures is currently 80% complete. Additionally, the department noted that former Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai has participated in the artistic process by assisting with the painting of the patterns on the sculptures' traditional garments (pha nung).
For residents and visitors, this progress marks a significant milestone in the ongoing ceremonial preparations. While the visual elements of the site are nearing completion, the department has not yet released a full schedule for the final stages of the project or specific details regarding public access to the site once the installation is finished. Those interested in Thai craftsmanship and royal traditions may find this progress noteworthy as the site takes its final form. Further updates regarding the completion timeline and potential viewing opportunities remain to be confirmed by the relevant authorities.
