Devasathan, Hindu temple in Sao Chingcha district, Bangkok, Thailand
The temple complex contains three main structures that house deities including Shiva, Ganesha, and Narayana, with a Brahma statue centered in a water pool.
King Rama I established this temple in 1784 and brought Hindu priests from southern Thailand to perform royal ceremonies for the kingdom.
The temple maintains traditional Hindu rituals and serves as the center for royal Brahmanical ceremonies, including the annual Giant Swing ceremony.
The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with visitors required to dress modestly and remove shoes before entering the sacred buildings.
The temple houses the Vedavidyakom Library, containing texts about Hindu literature, rituals, religious history, and astrological manuscripts.
