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
