Erawan Shrine
Bangkok, Thailand
A cornerstone of Bangkok's spiritual scene, the Erawan Shrine was erected in 1956 to ward off ill luck during the construction of the Erawan Hotel. Unlike many shrines, it features a striking gilded statue of the Hindu god Brahma. Visitors often witness mesmerizing traditional Thai dance performances, which are commissioned as an offering to the deity.
