Buddha Phichai Maha Sombat

Buddha Phichai Maha Sombat depicts the Buddha in royal regalia with both hands raised in the posture known as Calming the Ocean.

The collection recalls the account of the Buddha staying at the hermitage of Uruvela Kassapa. When floodwaters rose around the area, he is said to have held the waters back and walked on dry ground within them. Witnessing this, the ascetics recognized his spiritual accomplishment and sought ordination.

Artmulet presents the story through an ornate crowned image intended to encourage steadiness, mindfulness and confidence grounded in the Dhamma. The collection also supports accommodation for meditation practitioners and a multipurpose pavilion at Wat Khun Inthapramun.
