A standing Buddha image with the left hand raised and the right hand resting at the side is known as the attitude of restraining the Phra Kaen Chan from rising from its seat or the attitude of urging the sandal wood image not to rise from its seat. This is how the story goes . When The Lord Buddha paid a visit to his mother for three months on Tavatimsa, the second level of heaven, a king named Pasentikosol, who was missing The Lord Buddha, had a Buddha image carved from sandalwood and had it placed in the residence where The Lord Buddha used to stay.
