The Buddhist method of paying respect to the dead kings takes the form of placing the urned relics under a nine-tiered umbrella-of-state on an altar in the Amarindra Hall or in the new Ananta Samagama Hall, and pays the usual homage before the relics. So far as Siam is concernd, the proximate origin of the worship of dead kings is to be found in the cult of the Deva-raja in Cambodia, which was also known in Java and South India. One more method of paying homage to deceased kings in Siam remains to be mentioned: the setting of a photograph or lithograph of the particular king on a table, before which are made the usual offerings of lighted candles, flowers, and incense. This is a very popular custom, both in government institutions and private houses, since every Siamese home possesses at least a cheap lithograph and can thus show its loyalty in this easy and practical manner.
