Elaborate ceremonies are underway in Bangkok to crown Thailand's new King Maha Vajiralongkorn. Also known as Rama the Tenth, the king was officially crowned as a divine monarch, the first the country has seen in seven decades. The 66-year-old ascended to the throne after the death of his widely-revered father, Bhumibol Adulyadej, in 2016. Saturday's pageantry is the start of a three-day ceremony that formally invests him with regal power, symbolizing his consecration as the upholder of Buddhism in Thailand. The ceremony included a purification ritual, with sacred waters from throughout Thailand and Bangkok and the coronation of the new king and Queen Suthida.
