On this are four main monuments:
Reliquary in the shape of golden chedi;
Repository of the Canon of Buddhism, with its
mother-of-pearl cabinet that display the palm leaf
scriptures at various times of the year;
Model of Angkor Wat crafted by Royal Command of
King Mongkut (Rama IV);
Royal Pantheon, where statues of past sovereigns of
ruling dynasty are enshrined.
Scattered around these monuments on the terrace are
fanciful animals in mythology, evolved out of the
imagination of artists, valued for their aesthetic
inspiration.
Models of elephants record those of the "white"
variety in respective reigns in the past.
