Makuṭabandhana

Person

Ein Heiligtum der Mallas östlich von Kusinārā, wo der Leichnam des Buddha eingeäschert wurde; ursprünglich soll es eine Halle gewesen sein, in der Malla-Häuptlinge an Festtagen ihren Schmuck anlegten

A “shrine” of the Mallā to the east of Kusinārā, where the Buddha’s body was cremated (D.ii.160-1).

Buddhaghosa explains that the Makuṭabandhana was a Hall in which the Malla chiefs put on their ornaments on festival days. It was called a cetiya because it was decorated (cittakatthena pan’esa cetiyaṃ).¹
