GOD GANESHA

Phra Pikkanes is Thai version and Thai name for the highly revered elephant-headed God "Ganesha" who is a very able and powerful Brahman (ancient Hindu) God having been worshipped by Thai people for a very long time ago.

Ganesha shrines are spreading all over the countries, many of them are in temples.

Ganesha, by Thai legend, was blessed by 8 ultra Gods including his mother, so he is a super God of various important blessings:

God of Success
God of Wisdom
God of Wealth & Fortune
God of Immortality.

So, the Somdej with Genesha back is great for any individuals, business persons, or any employees who want success, wisdom, wealth and good health in his/her life.
