Most of the decorations are attached to the bulletin board; the long, thin edge at the end of the roof at the end of the pinnacle. The enriching structure is known as lamyong. The lamyong is streaked in a wavy and sinuous sadung shape drawn by the naga. His forehead as the projections called bai raka recommends both naga blades and garuda feathers. Its lower end is known as Hang Hong, which usually looks like the head of a detached naga and looks from the ceiling. The head of the naga can be drawn in flames like kranok motifs and can have different heads.

Ashoka: the first King to embrace Buddhism
The special sites for King Ashoka (304-232 BC), the first ruler (of northern India) to capture Buddhism, were also an essential for the functioning of the monasteries. Ashoka included one of his famous pillars in this area: proclaiming his pillars claim to Buddhism, and served as educational objects in the Buddhist belief system.
A vihara was home or perhaps some stories, in front of a terrace with columns. The cells of the monks or nuns have been designed around a focal meeting room as in the Ajanta vihara arrangement (left). Each cell contained a stone bed, a pillow and a specialty for a light.
With a specific purpose aimed at perceiving the right point in which the Buddha attained enlightenment, Ashoka has built an important precious stone position (actually vajrasana gemstone seat) emphasizing the indestructible form of dharma.
