San Lak Muang Shrine

SAN LAK MUANG ศาลหลักเมือง aka Udon City Pillar Shrine is located @ GPS 17.4133903, 102.7854309 and is noted to be the center marker of Udon Thani complete with a Guardian referred to in Thai as “ท้าวเวสสุวรรณ” or rough English translating to “Vessavaṇa”, the SYMBOL Of UDON THANI.

This location is not a temple per se, and also, it is explained as not being 100% Buddhist but rather a mixture of Buddism and Brahminism (itself a Hindu ideology).
