Lak Muang or the City Pillar Shrine consists of a square building with openings on all four sides. In the center of the room are two gold pillars and six elephant tusks. The roof has three levels of ornate gables on each side and a dazzling white multi-tier square spire. King Rama I also included three guardian angels for the new capital city shrine.
Two of these guardian angels are in the Theparat Shrine, just to the right of the main shrine as you enter from Lak Muang Road.
At the center of the City Pillar Shrine complex is a simple shed with an altar where it's usual to see devotees pray and make offerings of food and flowers. To the side is a huge table laden with food and four bowls of holy water for people to wash hands and faces
