Brass Buddha Saturday 19 in Ta;;

Saturday
“Protected by the Naga King” – Pang Nak Prok

The Saturday Buddha image is sitting in a full lotus position in meditation on the coiled body of the Naga Muchalinda that uses its head as a cover against rain.

This pose represents a time during the sixth week after Siddhartha’s Enlightenment, when the Naga King protected the meditating Buddha against heavy rainfall by making a shelter with his multi-headed hood and lifted him above the flood waters by coiling its body under him.
