Luk Nimit are spherical stones buried underground to mark the boundaries of an ordination hall (sima) according to Buddhist monastic rules. Typically, nine stones are buried in total, with one in the center of the hall dedicated to the Buddha and eight in the eight cardinal directions dedicated to the Arhat disciples. Burying and gilding these Luk Nimit is considered a great merit-making act, believed to bring immense blessings, abundance, and protection from illness.

The Central Stone (Central Hall): The principal stone, buried in the center or "navel of the hall," to honor the Buddha.
The Subsidiary Stones (Eight Directions): Buried around the ordination hall to represent the senior Arhat disciples and the planetary deities protecting the place.

Southeast: Represents Venerable Mahakassapa.
South: Represents Venerable Sariputta.
