Name: Wednesday Daytime Buddha or Pang Umbat (ปางอุ้มบาตร) The Buddha in the Alms Bowl Posture, or Buddha Carrying an Alms Bowl.
Posture: The Buddha is depicted standing, holding his alms bowl with both hands.
Meaning/Story: This posture commemorates the Buddha's practice of going on alms rounds to teach his relatives (who were initially reluctant to offer alms) the importance of merit-making and sharing, showing that even a prince lives simply and relies on the generosity of others.
Significance: It symbolizes humility, self-reliance, and the practice of receiving sustenance through almsgiving, a fundamental part of monastic life.
