Mae Phra Thorani (Goddess of the Earth)


      This is a monument of the Goddess of the Earth, sitting twisting her hair in a booth decorated with beautifully sculptured mortar. It was built by Queen Sowabha, the Queen Mother in the reign of King Rama VI. At the end of her twisted hair, a stream of water flowed into a container for people to use. In other word, it was a public fountain and the waters were considered holy.
