Hi Sudharshan. You had a good idea to frame your picture in a detail of Wat Arun and your picture works very well. Unfortunately it lacks sharpness and needs, I feel, a touch more contrast. However, this is not a monkey God, it is a garuda.
The garuda was the carrier of the god Vishnu: Rama in Thai mythology. So here he is carrying a Chedi, containing royal ashes. Also Wat Arun is the Temple of Dawn,not the sun; 'Arun meaning dawn. I look forward to seeing some more of your Thai pictures. Regards kevin
