Deva est le terme hindou pour la déité; devatas (Thai: Thewada) sont une sorte de plus petits devas plus focalisés, l'équivalent des esprits gardiens ou des anges gardiens. Il y a des devata mâles et femelles. Dans l'hindouisme, les dévatas qui protègent les neuf points cardinaux sont appelés Devata Lokapala (gardiens des directions) ou dans l'ancien Java appelé Dewata Nawa Sanga (Neuf dieux gardiens). Chaque caste a son tuteur deva, et chaque activité humaine a son devata, son homologue spirituel ou son aspect.

Deva is the Hindu term for deity; devatas (Thai: thewada) are a kind of smaller more focused devas, the equivalent of guardian spirits or guardian angels. There are male and female devata. In Hinduism, the devatas that guard the nine cardinal points are called Devata Lokapala (Guardians of the Directions) or in ancient Java called Dewata Nawa Sanga (Nine guardian gods). Each caste has its guardian deva, and every human activity has its devata, its spiritual counterpart or aspect. The Buddhist temple of Wat Chet Yot (Jet Yod) was constructed in 1455 CE by King Tilokarat in the style of the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya, India. Bodh Gaya was where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment. Chiang Mai, sometimes written as 'Chiengmai' or 'Chiangmai', is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand, and is the capital of Chiang Mai Province. It is located 700 km (435 mi) north of Bangkok, among the highest mountains in the country. The city is on the Ping river, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya river. King Mengrai founded the city of Chiang Mai (meaning 'new city') in 1296, and it succeeded Chiang Rai as capital of the Lanna kingdom. The ruler was known as the Chao. The city was surrounded by a moat and a defensive wall, since nearby Burma was a constant threat. Chiang Mai formally became part of Siam in 1774 by an agreement with Chao Kavila, after the Thai King Taksin helped drive out the Burmese. Chiang Mai then slowly grew in cultural, trading and economic importance to its current status as the unofficial capital of northern Thailand, second in importance only to Bangkok.
