It is believed that Phra Phrom is a deity who can determine the fate of human lives. He protects those who do good and act virtuously. When prayers are made, he helps fulfill desires and brings success in one's endeavors. Phra Phrom is depicted with four faces, and devotees must pray to all four sides to cover aspects such as work, finances, love, and overall well-being. Currently, people are discouraged from lighting incense for prayers due to concerns about smoke affecting respiratory health and contributing to pollution. However, traditional rituals such as dance offerings and presenting various gifts to him continue to be commonplace. Visitors can come empty-handed; they can also purchase offerings from vendors nearby to pay their respects. == Offering Prices == - Small flower garland (4 garlands) with incense and candles: 25 Baht - Large flower garland (4 garlands) with incense and candles: 50 Baht - Jasmine flower garland (4 garlands) with incense and candles: 80 Baht - Multi-colored jasmine garland (7 sections, 7 feet): 35 Baht Additionally, wooden elephant figures ranging from 1 inch to 6 inches are available for prices between 20 Baht and 140 Baht in a nearby stall. == Prayer Mantra for Phra Phrom == Om Paramesana Musikaram Ongkaranissawa Rang Brahmaressa Yam Bhupassava Vishnu Waiyatanam Mothit Ilukpam Tharamaya Yikyanang Yawaiyala Kamulam Sata Nantara Wimusatinan Namattay Namattay Ja Akaraṃ Toh Waodhah Etamatara Yat Tamantaram Kathanaram La Jasarawa Patitam Sampobha Kollo Tiwa Thiyam Matanya Or the shortened version: Om Ahum Brahma Asmi Chanting this mantra with a sincere heart while making a wish is believed to bring auspiciousness to oneself. == Worshiping Phra Phrom == When worshiping, one should circle clockwise around the statue to ensure prayers are offered from all four directions. Each of the four faces requires specific offerings and prayers: 1. First Face: Offer 16 incense sticks, 9 candles, 9 lotus flowers, and 1 bottle of water, praying for matters related to work, studies, and advancement in status. 2. Second Face: Use 36 incense sticks, 9 candles, 9 lotus flowers, and 1 bottle of water, asking for blessings regarding financial matters, properties, and prosperity. 3.
