Ganesha Shrine is a shrine outside Central World Plaza in Bangkok. It was built in 1994 and dedicated to Ganesha, the Hindu elephant god, who is regarded as the god of accomplishment and the destroyer of evil and obstacles.

Like the Erawan Shrine and the Trimurti Shrine nearby, the Ganesha Shrine is a fine example of the fusion of Hindu deities into a predominantly Buddhist society of Thailand.
