The sacred water that makes a king

The coronation of Thailand's Vajiralongkorn is an elaborate mix of Buddhist and Brahmin rituals.

An elaborate three-day coronation is taking place for the king of Thailand, and sacred water plays a key role in the consecration rites.

The official ceremonies, a mix of Brahmin and Buddhist rituals, begin on 4 May in the capital, Bangkok.    

King Maha Vajiralongkorn, 66, inherited the throne upon the death of his revered father King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016. But in Thai royal tradition only after a king is consecrated does he become a Devaraja, or God king, and the upholder of Buddhism.

This is the first coronation in living memory for most of the Thai population and big crowds are expected to attend.

"This is a significant occasion where Thai people can reassure ourselves that we have long history, rich culture and close ties between the monarchy and the people," says Prof Tongthong Chandransu from Chulalongkorn University - a researcher in Thai culture.
