Standing at the entrance to one of the largest and most popular shopping malls (CentralWorld) in Asia, the Trimurti Shrine is known as the 'statue of love'. Tens of thousands of people pass this iconic shrine every day, with a notable proportion stopping for a moment to pray for luck in love and life. The foot traffic at the shrine increases significantly on days such as Valentine's Day, and it's not uncommon to see young couples deep in thought at the shrine, praying for a happy and healthy life together. The statue itself is a replica of an ancient statue from Ayutthaya and features 3 of the most powerful Hindu Gods, namely Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer). Together, they become Lord Trimurti, who symbolizes love and unity.
Whether you visit the shrine specifically during your time in Bangkok or simply take a moment to stop and pray for a minute during a shopping trip, you cannot fail to recognize how sacred this shrine/statue is to Thai people. Just watching other people at the shrine, praying for the best romantic outcomes in their lives, you can gain a valuable cultural insight into the lives of Thai people and their beliefs.
