The cremated ashes of the late King will also be enshrined at Wat Rajabophit Sathit Maha Simaram and Wat Bowonniwet Vihara. The temple has been decorated with marigolds, which are a symbol of commemoration for the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the monk said. The yellow colour of the flower is associated with Monday, the day on which the revered late King was born. The government declared a one-year mourning period starting on Oct 14 last year after the late King passed away the previous day. However, this will not apply to the pictures and portraits of the late King Rama IX in public places.
