29 FEBRUARY 2008 -- BANGKOK, THAILAND: A woman prays while classical Thai dancers perform behind her at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, Thailand. The Erawan Shrine is a Hindu shrine that houses a statue of Phra Phrom, the Thai representation of the Hindu creation god Brahma. A popular tourist attraction, it often features performances by resident Thai dance troupes, who are hired by worshippers in return for seeing their prayers at the shrine answered. The Erawan Shrine was built in 1956 as part of the government-owned Erawan Hotel to correct bad omens believed to be caused by laying the foundations on the wrong date. Photo by Jack Kurtz
