Thailand boasts of a rich and vibrant Hindu heritage going back over two millennia, leaving its mark on everything from language and literature to art and architecture. Even though Theravada Buddhism became dominant around 1000 CE, Hinduism's influence permeates Thai culture and language even today.
Thailand boasts ancient temples with deep Hindu roots, such as Phanom Rung with its great Shivling. The Devasathan, a Hindu temple built in 1784, serves as the center of Hinduism in Thailand. Hindu deities are revered in Thailand, from Ganesha, the elephant-headed remover of obstacles to Brahma, the creator. Thailand's national epic Ramakien is based on the great Ramayana. The Thai monarchy has Brahmin priests, and Brahmin rituals are incorporated into royal ceremonies, including coronation.
This book chronicles Hinduism's undeniable presence, telling a fascinating story of cultural exchange and enduring influence.
