"Phra Nak Prok" meaning "Buddha Protected by Naga", is the Buddha image for people born on Saturday.
"Naga" is the name for a deity,
taking the form of a very great snake.
Among
the notable nagas of Buddhist tradition is Mucalinda, protector of the Buddha.
Shortly after his enlightenment, Buddha is meditating in a forest when a great
storm arises, but graciously Naga King Mucalinda gives shelter to the Buddha
from the storm by covering the Buddha's head with his 7 snake heads.
Phra Nak Prok is renowned for effects of the prosperity of careers, safety, protection against disasters, and turning misfortune into fortune.
