Worship at the City Pillar Shrine | Chiang Mai

Sao Inthakhin is the main pillar of the city that the people of Chiang Mai respect and worship. It is believed that it is the pillar that creates stability and prosperity for the people of Chiang Mai. However, women are not allowed to enter the Sao Inthakhin Hall. Be careful. There is a warning sign in front. The reason women are prohibited from entering is that under the base of the Sao Inthakhin Pillar, there are many offerings. Menstruating women are prohibited from entering because it is considered to be disrespectful and destroys the sacredness of the Sao Inthakhin Pillar. In addition, men who are not properly dressed should not enter either. It is believed that if anyone violates this, it will cause disaster to the city. It is a four-sided pavilion in the Lanna style, decorated with Lanna stucco patterns. It is a closed temple in the Lanna style. The temple structure has walls on all four sides, with entrances and exits and windows on all four sides.
