As an Indian in Thailand, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of familiarity 🇮🇳🇹🇭 The temples here reflect so much of what I’ve experienced back home— from the architecture to the rituals. One of the most surprising discoveries was finding Lord Shiva, known here as Phra Siwa, honored in such a unique way. Did you know there’s a beautiful Shiva shrine right inside a mall? Yes, at Big C Rajdamri Mall in Bangkok, tradition meets modern life. Devotees offer flowers, fruits, and incense, chant 'Om Namah Shivaya,' and even pour water over the sacred Shiva Lingam—just like we do in India. This shared devotion highlights the deep cultural and spiritual bond between India and Thailand, connecting us through centuries of history and faith. If you’re ever in Bangkok, make sure to visit the Shiva Vihara Temple and this serene shrine inside Big C Rajdamri Mall. It’s a testament to how tradition beautifully survives even in the busiest corners of a modern city. 📍 Location: Big C Rajdamri Mall, 7th floor (enter from the Ground Floor and take a right for the glass elevator followed by an escalator) 🕒 Open daily from 9 AM to 8 PM #DiscoverThailand #Thailand #Bangkok #Temple #ShivaTemple #CulturalConnections #SpiritualJourney
