Description: |
|
Bangkok’s Erawan Shrine houses a sacred statue of Phra Phrom,
the Thai version of Brahma, the Hindu God of Creation. Many Thai
people come here to pray and make merit. There is often a troupe
of dancers, wearing traditional outfits, at the shrine.
Worshipers can make a donation and the dancers will perform –
often behind the person as they kneel to pray. This is thought
to show respect to the statue and also bring luck to the donor.
The best time to catch dancers here is in the evenings and at
weekends. It’s free to sit in the grounds of the shrine and
watch the hive of activity, including the dancing, though you
can, of course, also make a donation to see the dancing group
perform their graceful and elegant moves. |
