  phra prajam wan (Buddhism)

 

Thailand

Phra prajam wan (geut) is a system of personal worship in Thailand in which each day of the week corresponds with a certain representation of a Buddha image for the day on which someone is born (fig.).

 

One will offer to the image of his or her birthday and personal characteristics are derived from it. Monetary gifts can be put in the alms bowls in front of the images.
