"Phra Nak Prok", meaning "Buddha Protected by Naga", is the Buddha image for people born on Saturday. "Naga" is the name for a deity, taking the form of a very great snake. Among the notable nagas of Buddhist tradition is Mucalinda, protector of the Buddha. Shortly after his enlightenment, Buddha is meditating in a forest when a great storm arises, but graciously Naga King Mucalinda gives shelter to the Buddha from the storm by covering the Buddha's head with his 7 snake heads.
Phra Nak Prok is renowned for effects of the prosperity of careers, safety, protection against disasters, and turning misfortune into fortune, a good choice for the military or the police.
Also, people born on Saturday are recommended to wear Phra Nak Prok amulets, the Saturday Buddha.
