Cast Metal 4 Face Buddha 38" Tall 25" Knee to Knee

The four faces symbolize the books of the Vedas, the Hindu scriptures, and the source of all knowledge in the creation of the universe. The eight hands symbolize the omnipresence and power of Lord Brahma. The upper right-hand carries a rosary, symbolizing the cycle of life from creation to death.

Only a few decades ago, the Thai people created their version of the Hindu god of creation, Brahma, at the Erawan Shrine. The initial idea was to ward off the curses and spirits that plagued the grounds of the Erawan Hotel next door. After a series of injuries to the workers and a sunken shipment of the hotel’s expensive marble stones, the shrine was erected, giving the rest of the hotel’s days a smooth sailing. Today, the Erawan Hotel no longer exists and has been replaced by the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel.
