Lakshmi Shrine

What is it: The goddess of wealth, beauty and divine abundance finds her Bangkok home on the fourth floor of Gaysorn Village shopping mall.

She is Vishnu's divine consort and represents the nurturing, supportive power of the feminine. The shrine is consistently popular with local Bangkokians seeking blessings in both love and finance.

What to wish for: Financial fortune, material abundance and romantic luck. 

Time Out tip: Worship with nine joss sticks, pink lotus flowers, sugarcane juice, water, milk, five kinds of fruits and various aromatic substances. Avoid meat or eggs.
