The Ganesha, also known as the "Great Sacred Joyful Deva," is among Thailand's most revered deities. Originating from Hinduism as the son of Shiva and Parvati, he is worshipped as the bestower of wisdom, wealth, and auspiciousness, holding a prominent place in Thai culture.
Legend explains his elephant-headed form: while Shiva was absent, Parvati created a son to guard her bath. Upon returning, Shiva, unaware of the youth's identity, beheaded him. To revive him, Shiva—guided by Vishnu—replaced the head with that of an elephant. Reborn as the elephant-headed god, he became known as the "Remover of Obstacles" and the "God of Wisdom and Wealth." Today, his worship is deeply integrated into Thai society as a guardian deity of arts, commerce, and education.
God of Wisdom: Illuminates the mind and ensures academic success. The classic deity of intellect, known as the "Guardian of Knowledge."
Remover of Obstacles: Clears away hindrances and brings endeavors to fulfillment. Also called the "Obstacle-Destroyer."
God of Wealth: Attracts fortune and prosperity, ensuring business success. Thai merchants have a long tradition of venerating Ganesha.
God of Harmony & Relationships: Fosters positive connections and attracts helpful mentors, aiding in the improvement of interpersonal relationships.
God of Arts & Creation: Inspires creativity and enables outstanding expression, serving as the patron deity for artists, performers, and designers.
It is recommended to purchase offerings on-site at the Ganesha worship area (the shrine at the intersection). Basic offerings include:
Shoes must be removed before entering the worship area. It is recommended to wear a top with sleeves and long pants or a long skirt, and avoid wearing flip-flops.
If your wish is granted, remember to return to the temple and fulfill your vow. Common ways to fulfill a vow include:
Beside the Ganesha shrine, you may perform divination using jiao bei (trapezoidal wooden moon blocks). To receive a positive response, you must toss the blocks and have them land with the same side facing up. Additionally, you may draw a fortune stick—remember the number of the stick you draw and take it to the interpretation counter at the back of the shrine for explanation.
Every Wednesday and Thursday after 9:00 PM, an Achan (venerable monk) conducts chanting and blessing ceremonies for devotees inside the shrine. The Achan will apply a red blessing mark (tilaka) on the foreheads of participants. This is considered an exceptionally auspicious time when the shrine's spiritual energy is most vibrant.
