HINDU GODS OF BANGKOK
Erawan Shrine :
Erawan is the name of the mythical Hindu elephant which was Rama's mount. This is the name of a Hindu Shrine depicting the image of Phra Phrom. It is also a Brahmin Shrine. Similar four headed gold plated images of Rama can be seen often in Thailand particularly out side large hotel buildings. This is not to be confused with the Thai Spirit Houses also often placed in front of buildings.
The Trimurthy Shrine :
This shrine includes the three pillars of Hindu Gods, Brahma the Creator, Shiva the Destroyer and Vishnu the Preserver. The image is in bronze and is gold plated.
Narayana on Garuda :
There is a statue of Narayana astride Garuda in front of Intercontinental Hotel, Bangkok.
Mahalakshmi Statue :
At Bangkok's Gaysorn Plaza, and you have an interesting view from there over the sky train construction, and surrounding building such as the Central World Plaza. Thai people pray to Lakshmi for wealth, although this is the only shrine which is well hidden.
