Phra Sivali the historical Buddha. Before becoming a monk, Sivali was a wealthy prince. The birth of the prince had made the queen very ill and weak till the point where she feared she would die soon. Desiring to make a final offering to the Buddha and his followers, she told the king to invite the Fully Awakened One and his disciples to have their meal at the royal palace. It is said, that, after the monks had left the palace again, the queen quickly recovered from her sickness due to the miraculous power of the Buddha’s blessings. Besides good health, the Buddha also endowed Phra Sivali with various noble virtues, which would later bring great wealth and riches to the kingdom and its subjects.
In traditional Thai Buddhist iconography Phra Sivali usually is depicted in walking posture. In his left hand he holds an umbrella, while holding a walking rod in his right hand. On his left shoulder he wears a monk’s bag and an alms bowl. These are the typical requisites of a wandering ascetic living the austere life of truly renunciate monks of the forest tradition. Also,a Buddhist prayer beads rosary can be seen hanging on the monk’s right wrist, which can be used for recitation and meditation purposes.

Phra Sivali serves as a powerful bucha item that can help improve the owner’s fate and luck, whilst at the same time also attracting abundant blessings of good fortune.
