text:
A prasat, or more accurately, kudakhan or rueanyot (เรือนยอด), is a Thai architectural form reserved for royal palaces of the monarch or for sacred religious structures. It is a building featuring an ornate roof structure, usually multi-tiered, with one or more spires. The form symbolizes the centre of the universe, which is traditionally associated with the monarch or the Buddha. Prasat forms are widely used in the buildings of the Grand Palace, and are also found in some Buddhist temples (wat)
