At intervals around the Assembly Hall stand twelve open marble-floored pavilions,
built originally in the late 18th century of King Rama I. The roofs were the renovation during the
150th anniversary of Bangkok. Rama I followed the custom of using these twelve buildings, were scholars
sat and chanted Jatakas (stories of Previous lives of Sakayamuni Buddha) on important days in the Buddhist
calendar. The tales were chanted in relay from pavilion to pavilion.
