Commonly called Brahmin temple, King Rama 1 ordered the Dhevasthan (Devasathan) built in 1784 for holding Brahmin rites and ceremonies. The Temple consists of 3 Thai-style buildings. On the left-hand side is the Shrine of Shiva. The middle chapel is Ganesha Shrine and Vishnu Shrine on the right-hand side. In front of the 3 shrines, there is an image of Brahma enshrined under a small pavilion. Dhevasathan (Devasathan) is the evidence of Brahminism which was spread into Thailand and mingled in the Thai way of life and its customs and ceremonies from the past, to the present day.
