#Receive a discount without relying on luck, belief in the city pillar with the ancient site, Bon.6, Lak Muang Si Satchanalai Temple Sri Satchanalai Historical Park would like to publish knowledge for the month of July On the topic of belief in the city pillar with the ancient site, Bon.6, Lak Muang Si Satchanalai Temple The belief in the city pillar is a belief that has existed for a long time. Based on the respect for ancestral spirits and the worship of spirits inside the pillars of houses of people in the past. And when entering the status of a city, the beliefs of Buddhism and Brahmanism came in, especially the center of the universe or Mount Sumeru, combined with the original beliefs in the local area. The belief in the center of the community From worshiping the pillars of the house, it was developed into the belief in the pillars of the city or the city pillar. In the city of Si Satchanalai, there is an ancient site that is currently believed to be the city pillar of Si Satchanalai, which is the ancient site Bon.6 or the ancient site of Wat Lak Muang. The idea of the city pillar of Si Satchanalai was first mentioned in the book "Visiting the City of Phra Ruang" from the assumption of King Rama VI who visited When he visited the northern provinces in 1907, he wrote: “…I believe that it is definitely not a Buddhist temple and not a Brahmin temple, but rather a spirit or deity shrine. Therefore, I guessed that it might be a city pillar, or a place where the city’s omen was buried. This place is quite suitable, close to the fence and the palace. In any case, there are no other city pillars besides this place. I searched for many days but could not find the prang. In my understanding, it was used as a monument to mark what was buried there, such as a relic or human remains. If it was a place where human bones were buried, could it not be used as a city omen? Personally, I believe that it is more of a city pillar than a place where bones are buried, because it is located far outside the temple area. However, this is just my personal guess.” In addition, the architectural style is different from other ancient sites found in the city, namely, the main prang is a prang-shaped prang, built of laterite in a square plan with two layers of slab bases in a plan with twenty-angled recesses. Next is a set of lotus pedestals, followed by seven more 7-tiered square bases with 2-tiered wood corners, each tier decorated with stucco balusters and petals. The location of the ancient site is in front of the palace grounds, so it is believed that this ancient site is important to Si Satchanalai or is the city pillar. However, the results of the archaeological excavation in 1969 found baked clay Buddha images around the temple and the Buddha niches. Small baked clay Buddha images were found, so this temple is more likely to be a Buddhist temple than a Brahman-Hindu religious site. Currently, inside the ancient site of Wat Lak Mueang, the city pillar or Inthakhil pillar has been placed on the original Buddha image base inside the pavilion on the temple, but there is no evidence of when it was placed. However, regardless of whether the ancient site of Wat Lak Mueang was the city pillar of Si Satchanalai in the past, the ancient site of Wat Lak Mueang is currently considered the city pillar of Si Satchanalai.

#Get a discount without relying on luck #Wat Nang Phaya is an ancient site within the city walls on the east side of Si Satchanalai Historical Park, Si Satchanalai District, Sukhothai Province. It is located on the same axis as Wat Suan Kaew Uthayan Yai and Wat Chedi Chet Thaeo. The highlight is the wall with stucco patterns that are still intact, which appear on the northwest wall of the temple. The history of this temple says that "Mr. Thian, a local villager, reported to King Rama VI, citing a story he read from a legend that had burned down, that this temple was built by Nang Phasuchatdevi, the daughter of the Chinese king, who was the consort of Phra Ruang. However, there is no archaeological evidence to support this statement. #Wat Nang Phaya is quite spacious. Inside the temple, there is a Sri Lankan-style chedi with a main chedi niche, made of large laterite and in perfect condition around the base of the chedi. There are lamp posts all the way, stairs leading up to the chedi, and a seven-room viharn, which is a popular plan for Sukhothai and northern architecture. Inside the viharn, on every side of the pillars, there are deities and various patterns. Made of unglazed Sangkhalok[3] The highlight of this temple is that there is one wall left with beautiful stucco decorations, but they have now peeled off to a considerable extent. A zinc roof has been built over the wall for conservation purposes. This wall has no windows, but there are ventilation holes in the Sukhothai and early Ayutthaya styles.
