At the end of the year in 1955, The union of Thai hotel and tourism company limited, the founder of the erawan hotel was told by rear admiral Luang Suwichanphaet, who specialized in astrology, that the original moment for laying the foundation stone of the erawan hotel was not really right auspicious moment.

It must be corrected by building a shrine of the Thai Maha Brahma and a spirit house in the area of the hotel. Then a shrine with the image of the Thao Maha Brahma and a spirit house was built followed the advice. The image was a scrulpture in plaster covered with gold leaf, which was designed and sculpted by Mr.Chit Phimkowit, a sculptor of the fine art department.

It was brought to enshrine there since the 9th november, 1956. And a worship ceremony of the image has been held on the 9th november of every year.
