The Erawan Shrine is a famous Hindu shrine in Bangkok that is visited by many Hindus visiting the city. This Hindu kovil is famous because of its effigy of god Brahma who is known as Phra Phrom among the Thai community. Over time it has become a famous tourist attraction which shows off a variety of performances and dances done by Thai dance groups as a way of paying gratitude to the god. There was an incident where a man damaged the shrine and was killed on the spot by the witnesses. After this event a new statue of Brahma was replaced instead of the damaged statue. The Erawan shrine is quite easy to locate since its right by the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in the Pathum Wan district in Bangkok Thailand. Right opposite the Bangkok sky train station in Chitlom you can see the magnificent shrine. The area of the shrine is always crowded with busy travelers visiting the shrine and shopping around the malls lined up in the street like the Amarin Plaza, Central World and Gaysom. It was built in 1956 as a segment of the semi government hotel Erawan to get rid of evil spirits and bad karma which was cause by laying the foundations on the incorrect date. It was an astrologer who advised the hotel management to put up a shrine to avoid negative forces influencing the progression of the hotel. The Brahma statue was specially designed by the department of Fine Arts on the 9th of November 1956. Because of this statue it is believed that the hotel faced no negative incidents or any form of loss. This statue is a great luck to all passersby and the nearby organizations who receive blessings from the statue of Brahma. People visiting Bangkok can try out a Sukhumvit Hotel. Many Bangkok tourists who visit the shrine choose Grand Millennium Sukhumvit as their hotel on their vacations. This amazing Bangkok Hotel will surely give you the best comforts, luxuries and unforgettable treats while you are on stay. All devotees stopping by the Erawan shrine will certainly retain the blessings of God Brahma.
