Goddess Lakshmi Shrine

The Lakshmi Shrine Bangkok is located in Gaysorn Plaza, an up-market shopping mall opposite the Erawan Shrine at the Ratchaprasong junction, an area famous for shrines of Hindu gods and goddesses.

Lakshmi is the Hindu goddess for good fortune, wealth and prosperity. Her name in Sanskrit means aim or goal. She was created during the churning of the ocean of milk and became Vishnu’s consort.

It’s believed that Lakshmi was reborn each time Vishnu was reincarnated. In 7th reincarnation of Vishnu to Prince Rama in the Ramayana epic, Lakshmi became his Princess Sita.
