Spirit House, Mae Tuptim Shrine, Bangkok, Thailand

---

Shrine to the Hindu Goddess Mae Tuptim, Bangkok, that is, nonetheless, used by Buddhist worshippers. That said the shrine is particularly associated with bringing good fortune, with that association being particularly concerned with fertility. The site is littered with lingams or phalluses. People come to pray for the conception of a child.
