Description: |
|
The city pillar shrine is situated in the centre of Phetchaboon
province. It’s Thai pavilion with three portico where the
sandstone city pillar inscribed with Khmer and Sanskrit letters
was placed. It’s presumed that the city pillar has set up here
since Sukhothai period. In Ayutthaya period, the city wall was
moved back and Wat Tribhumi became the center. According to
old-fashioned belief, the city pillar is symbol of community and
urban area settlement for harmonious living.
From
hearsay, the city pillar was a tree in front of the old shrine
of city-spirit. The wooden pillar’s broken and the place’s too
small. In 1960, the wooden pillar was replaced by sandstone
pillar and in 1980 the shrine was renovated in wooden-brick
building. The government office built the new shrine in 2006.
It’s considered as the spiritual center of Phetchaboon
people. Many visitors come here for worship, benediction and
praying. Whenever they get into trouble or wish something,
they’ll come to pray. If they get what they want, they’ll
fulfill their vow with entertainment such as showing film and
Thai traditional dramatic performance. You will hear that
drivers blow a horn 3 times for paying respect to the city-god.
Moreover, many newly-weds pray here for blissful couple living.
The city pillar shrine has an influence in townspeople.
