Description: |
|
The Ayutthaya City Pillar (Lak Muang) shrine is located next to
the roundabout near Wat Phra Ram. This shrine, and the pillar
within it, is a modern construction erected in the twentieth
century. While there is some evidence that ancient Ayutthaya may
have had a city pillar, nobody is sure where it was located. The
significance of the city pillar changed substantially during the
Bangkok era, and it wasn't until the 1990s that provinces were
actually directed to erect city pillars in their capital cities.
People come to city pillar shrines to make offerings and
pray for good fortune, pregnancy and other boons.
