Thailand: A four-faced Brahma statue at the entrance to the Devasathan (Brahmin Shrines), near the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Chaa), Bangkok

The Devasathan or Brahmin Shrines are three shrines dedicated to the Hindu gods Shiva, Ganesh and Vishnu. The shrines were originally built in 1784 at the same time as the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) situated across the road. All were built on the orders of King Rama I.
