    Wat Si Muang

    VientianeLao People's Democratic Republic1563

    Wat Si Muang is one of Vientiane's most revered and active Buddhist temples, built in 1563 upon the orders of King Setthathirath. The shrine houses the city pillar (Lak Mueang) and is famous across the nation for the legendary sacrifice of Nang Si, a pregnant young woman who jumped into the foundation pit to appease local spirit deities. Known as the spiritual heart of the capital, Wat Si Muang is widely believed to be guarded by Nang Si's protective ghost, drawing thousands of devotees who seek her blessings while respecting strict spiritual taboos.
