Ananta Nagaraja Royal Barge
The Ananta Nagaraja Royal Barge was first built in the reign of King Rama III and rebuilt in the reign of King Rama VI. It is 44.85 meters long and requires 54 oarsmen.
In Sanskrit, Ananta means infinity or eternity, Naga means either Naga or Snake, and Raja means a royal or a king. So, Ananta Nagaraja means the King of Nagas or Snakes.
