Erawan Shrine

This is the famous Erawan Shrine.  Construction was underway of the Erawan Hyatt in 1955; construction workers were dying; so the people constructed this shrine

to appease the gods.  They were attempting to get mercy from this statue.  (you can google Erawan for the complete story)  There were a great number of people here.  There was a cloud of incense smoke in the air.  The yellow is mass amounts of flower offerings given to this statue, in hopes of favors granted.
