Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Bangkok
Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Bangkok, Hindu temple in Silom district, Thailand
Sri Maha Mariamman Temple is a Hindu place of worship in the Silom district featuring three main sanctuaries with the central shrine housing the principal deity statue of Uma Devi. Smaller shrines flank the main sanctuary, creating a sacred space for different forms of devotion.
The shrine was founded in 1879 by South Indian settlers during the reign of King Rama V. It developed into a permanent religious establishment that continues to serve Bangkok's Hindu community.
The temple honors Shakti tradition and centers on female deities, with Uma Devi as the principal goddess embodying compassion and grace. Visitors regularly see colorful flower garlands and offerings left by worshippers throughout the shrine.
Visitors can purchase flower garlands, flowers, and incense from vendors at the temple entrance to make offerings during worship. Modest dress is recommended as this is an active place of devotion.
A tall golden pillar in the courtyard holds a large lingam at its summit and is decorated with flags during the Navaratri festival. This striking structure displays the connection between female and male divine energies in the faith.
