The makuṭa (Sanskrit: मुकुट), variously known in several languages as makuta, mahkota, magaik, mokot, mongkut or chada (see § Etymology and origins below), is a type of headdress used as crowns in the Southeast Asian monarchies of today's Cambodia and Thailand, and historically in Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, and Bali), Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Laos and Myanmar.
The colour of the headdress also varies from one state to another. However two of the royal states in Peninsular Malaysia - Selangor and Johor - have added a crown to their royal regalia following latter British influence. The royal headdress worn by the King of Malaysia during his installation ceremony is called the Tengkolok Diraja.
The deputy king exercises the functions of the head of state during the king's absence, or inability to exercise the functions of his office due to illness or infirmity (similar to a regent or viceroy/vizier in other countries). The deputy king does not automatically succeed as King of Malaysia when a vacancy occurs in that office.
