Another Hindu Shrine

Nearby to Erawan Shrine is another Hindu Shrine (just diagonally across the traffic junction) outside Isetan department store at Central World Plaza (formerly World Trade Center).





















There are actually 2 shrines here..





















Lord Brahma in standing pose to the right...





















Lord Ganesha sat on the left.





















the Lord of Accomplishment.





















He took the form of an elephant head with a human torso.. with pot belly.































































It is not as popular as the Erawan Shrine judging from the number of worshippers.
If I have to follow the crowds.. guess I would pick Erawan Shrine to make my wishes come true!

Update 20th Nov 2008
My curiosity of Hindu Shrines in central Bangkok lead further readings.. this site shed more on this subject if you are interested too.
