Makuṭabandhana
PersonUn sanctuaire des Mallas à l’est de Kusinārā où le corps du Buddha fut incinéré, à l’origine, dit-on, une salle où les chefs Malla revêtaient leurs parures les jours de fête
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
