Wiharn

A type of building found in temple compounds. The difference between the main temple hall (Ubosot) and Wiharn, is that Wiharn does not have boundary markers. Sometimes it is used as a prayer hall to house recently deceased laity for prayers. While the Ubosot is reserved for use by monks, Wiharn may be used by Kalawats for blessing/ consecration ceremonies.
