The Mahaparinirvana of the Buddha is often depicted in Thai murals and iconography as a reclining Buddha, though not every reclining Buddha represents mahaparinirvana. The most famous  in Thailand is the one at Wat Phra Chetuphon (fig.) in Bangkok, and  shown here is Phra Phoet Saiyaat from Wat Yai Chai Mongkon in Ayutthaya. The reclining position is one of the four iryapatha (fig.).
