クシナーラー東方にあるマッラ族の聖地で、ブッダの遺体が荼毘に付された場所。もとはマッラ族の首長たちが祭日に装飾品を身に着けた広間であったと伝えられる

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
