Sri Maha Uma Devi Temple (Wat Khaek)

This Sri Maha Uma Devi Temple was built to worship the Goddess Mariamman, an incarnation of the Goddess Uma Devi, the wife of Shiva. Evidence has been available since the reign of King Rama V around 1910-1911. It is considered one of the oldest temples in Bangkok. If you observe carefully, nowadays, Thai Buddhist religious ceremonies are always based on Brahman-Hindu rituals, whether it is something close to home such as weddings, merit-making ceremonies, housewarming ceremonies, funerals, etc. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are Brahman temples or Hindu temples in Thailand and many Thai people go to worship according to their beliefs. The same goes for Wat Khaek, Silom, or Wat Sri Maha Uma Devi. Here, both Indians who are Hindus and Thais visit continuously. This place has beautiful architecture that is in the style of South Indian art, namely Dravidian architecture, and a mix between the Chola and Pala periods in India. #Bangkok attractions
