Thailand’s Largest Stainless Steel Ganesha Statue Open for Public Worship
A massive stainless steel Ganesha statue, known as 'Phra Sidthiya Ganapati,' is now accessible for public worship in Bangkok, offering a unique cultural site for devotees.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, a significant cultural landmark has been established in Bangkok. The 'Phra Sidthiya Ganapati,' recognized as the largest stainless steel Ganesha statue in Thailand, is located in front of EV9 (Thailand) Co., Ltd. within the Premium Place-Mix Ekkamai-Ramintra project on Nuanchan Road.
Ganesha is widely revered in Thai culture as the 'God of Success,' particularly among artists, performers, and craftspeople. Known as the son of Shiva and Uma Devi, he is traditionally worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom. The statue was established several years ago by Shusana Thatsaniyom, also known as 'Kru Gong KPN,' and businessman Pisit Kailassuwan, following a traditional consecration ceremony.
For residents and travelers, this site serves as a dedicated public space for those wishing to pay respects and seek blessings. The statue features a modern design, reflecting contemporary artistic interpretations of the deity. While the site is open for public worship, visitors should note that it is located within a private business complex area. As this is a place of religious significance, visitors are encouraged to maintain respectful behavior. Further details regarding specific opening hours or potential future events at the site remain to be confirmed by the management of the project.
